JAKARTA - The government opens opportunities for expatriates or foreign nationals (foreigners) to become leaders in State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN).
Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi said foreigners who place a strategic position in BUMN must have experience.
"If an Indonesian citizen is able, we will encourage them, if we need skills and competence from someone who happens to be (a foreigner), why don't you think so," said Prasetyo, Friday, October 17.
According to him, this related regulation comes from the BUMN Law.
He emphasized that there was no denial of the capacity of Indonesian citizens, but the government would not shut down foreign talent.
Prasetyo's analogy is the same as that of a football coach, if local coaches are capable of using it, otherwise foreign coaches can be an option.

When asked what SOEs will be opened with a similar model, Prasetyo mentioned the aviation, mineral, and oil and gas sectors as candidates. "Including Pertamina," he added.
Regarding the specific position of directors or commissioners, Prasetyo stated that he invited him, but it must be considered carefully.
"Everything has considerations," he said.
