JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto summoned Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto, Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani and Chairman of the National Economic Council (DEN) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan to the Presidential Palace Jakarta, Wednesday 19 March afternoon.
The summons was suspected after the Composite Stock Price Index (JCI) experienced a sharp decline so that the Indonesia Stock Exchange imposed trading stops on trading Tuesday, March 18.
Airlangga, who first came, only briefly answered media questions about the invitation to a meeting from President Prabowo.
"This is a DEN, we are listening to the DEN," said Airlangga briefly in an interview with the media, which was confiscated by Antara.
Although he did not want to elaborate further, Airlangga said his party would listen to input from the DEN.
After that, Sri Mulyani did not come long from Airlangga, but she did not give any information and only smiled at the media.
After Airlangga and Sri Mulyani, DEN Chairman Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan also did not provide information regarding what would be discussed in the meeting.
"The meeting will be completed. It's finished here," said Luhut briefly.
