Prabowo Subianto Sworn In as Indonesia’s President; Announces Cabinet
On October 20, Prabowo Subianto was inaugurated as Indonesia’s eighth president. Outlining his administration’s priorities in his inaugural address, Prabowo emphasized his campaign pledges on improving nutrition, healthcare, and housing, while also highlighting the continuation of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s industrialization policy (including through the export ban of raw critical minerals). Notably, Prabowo did not mention the development of the new capital city, Nusantara, one of Jokowi’s expensive legacy policy priorities that will likely compete with the new President’s own priorities for resources.
