JAKARTA: Indonesia’s finance minister “continues to carry out her duties in managing state finances,” her ministry said in a statement today, amid reports she may resign from cabinet ahead of the Feb 14 presidential election.
There has been speculation that Sri Mulyani Indrawati is one of several ministers who may quit amid discontent over outgoing President Joko Widodo’s political manoeuvring to retain influence after he leaves office in October.

“Upon her return from Davos, today she attended three internal meetings with the president and the cabinet at the…palace.”
Yesterday, the president’s office said the cabinet remains “solid”.
