Indonesian Finance Minister appointment

Overview

President Prabowo Subianto has appointed Suahasil Nazara as Indonesia’s new Minister of Finance, succeeding Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa. This appointment was formalized via Presidential Decree Number 97/P of 2026 following a cabinet reshuffle on September 14, 2026.

Nazara, a former deputy finance minister who served under both the Joko Widodo and Prabowo administrations, officially assumed the role following a handover ceremony at the Ministry of Finance building. He enters the position with a mandate to maintain the health of the State Budget (APBN), keep the fiscal deficit below 3 percent, and support the government’s goal of 8 percent economic growth amidst a weakening rupiah.

During his inauguration, President Prabowo emphasized a commitment to anti-corruption, stating he will not provide protection to those close to him, specifically citing the case of Dadan Hindayana and the seizure of assets from the Hotel Sultan.

As Nazara begins addressing administrative priorities—including potential reshuffles within the Directorate General of Taxes and Customs—the transition coincides with the deliberation of the 2027 State Budget (RAPBN). Economic academics and market observers are monitoring the transition to see if Nazara will maintain the pro-growth trajectory established by his predecessor or implement new fiscal approaches. While experts suggest the change may cause short-term market sentiment fluctuations, stability will depend on the government’s ability to provide certainty regarding fiscal continuity and macroeconomic management.
