The Indonesian government removed finance minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati in a cabinet reshuffle on Monday, state secretariat minister Prasetyo Hadi said.
Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, the head of the Indonesia Deposit Insurance Corporation, has been appointed as the country's new finance minister, replacing Sri Mulyani.
Sri Mulyani is one of Indonesia's longest-serving finance ministers and has worked under three presidents. She won plaudits for reforming the taxation system and for her role in steering Southeast Asia's largest economy through several crises, including the pandemic and the global financial crisis.
In between her first and second stints as finance minister, she served as a managing director of the World Bank.
