About Sri Mulyani Indrawati
Sri Mulyani Indrawati (born 26 August 1962) is an Indonesian economist who has served as Minister of Finance of Indonesia since 2016 under President Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto. She has previously served in the role under Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono between 2005–2010.
In her first tenure, she was credited with strengthening Indonesia's economy, increasing investments, and steering Southeast Asia's largest economy through the 2007–2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession. However, she was widely criticized for supporting a bailout of Bank Century in 2008, which costed the government Rp6.76 trillion ($737 million in 2008), resulting in the Indonesian House of Representatives holding a non-confidence vote on the bailout warrant. She resigned her post 2010 and took a position at the World Bank as Managing Director, before returning as finance minister in 2016.
In 2023, she was ranked 38th on the Forbes list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women.
