Prabowo Subianto Sworn In as Indonesia’s President; Announces Cabinet

Key Takeaways

  • Following his inauguration as Indonesia’s eight president, Prabowo Subianto is expected to prioritize defense and foreign relations and to position Indonesia as a middle power while maintaining the principle of non-alignment.
  • As one of his first acts, Prabowo expanded the cabinet to 48 ministries, the largest in Indonesia’s history.
  • Notably, he chose to keep on most of former President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s economic ministers, including Sri Mulyani as Finance Minister, signaling continuity in economic policy.
  • The unprecedented expansion of the cabinet reflects Prabowo’s aim to secure political stability by accommodating his broad coalition with senior level posts; however, this could also introduce inefficiencies within the bureaucracy
