JAKARTA - Sri Mulyani Indrawati. A woman who is very qualified in the economic sector. Supported by his credibility in the global economy, two presidents in two different eras trusted him to take care of the economic and financial sectors.
This Finance Heroine returned to Indonesia when President Jokowi in 2016 needed him. Sri Mulyani continued her role in the next five years until 2024 as Minister of Finance for the Forward Indonesian Cabinet Jokowi-Ma'aruf.
Who is Sri Mulyani?What is best for my nation and country?
The first question that always arises in Mbak Ani's mind is her nickname. Often times he is involved and has power which has implications for many people. His life today is the result of a formation by his parents, both of whom are professors.
Prof. Satmoko (late) and Prof. Retno Sriningsih Satmoko (late) raised her ten children to prioritize education along with family manners. Mbak Ani is the seventh child, the majority of the professor's ten children hold the title of master or doctor. The best fruit always comes from superior seeds with a slick process. Reading is a culture, the Kompas newspaper and the Semarang daily Terbit are mandatory reading.
His choice to study through the Department of Economics, Development Studies, University of Indonesia, was answered completely as the best graduate in 1986. Not wanting to just go to college, he serves as a researcher at the Institute for Economic and Community Research (LPEM), and a research assistant at the Faculty of Economics, University of Indonesia.
Four years turned out to be enough for Mbak Ani to complete two complementary academic degrees, one master's degree in 1990 and another Ph.D in 1992.
The beginning of the millennium, 2000. He chose to settle in the United States, in the city that once hosted the 96th Olympics, Atlanta. He has worked at USAID as a consultant, plus as a lecturer to guide students who live there. Uncle Sam's country became a memorable place in his life journey. Moreover, the scholarship facility which only supports her alone, Sri's life with her husband is very limited, forcing them to sell one unit of her car in exchange for dollar bills.
He is sociable, has wide associations, is supported by intelligence above average. Carrying herself into history as the first Indonesian woman to be selected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as Executive Director, representing 12 other Southeast Asian countries.
The effect of the big name of Sri Mulyani is often a burden on its own for extended families, especially the obligation to maintain an image and have no gaps. Even though they just want to be like other general public.
Sri Mulyani in GovernmentHis involvement in government began in the era of President Soesilo Bambang Yudhoyono in 2004. He was appointed as Head of the National Planning Agency (BAPPENAS). SBY's trust in him was recorded how he was involved in various Ministry posts during the SBY period, starting from the Minister of Finance, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, and the Head of Bappenas.
Sri Mulyani is a Finance Hero. Like the story of King Midas, who can turn anything he touches into gold, similar to his achievements. Mbak Ani in 2007 succeeded in helping the situation of this country by achieving an economic growth of 6.6 percent. The highest since the financial crisis hit the Asian continent since 1997.
In the midst of the global recession phase of the 2008-2009 period, he was able to raise the name of Indonesia to become one of the countries between China and India, which has economic growth of over 4 percent. At a time when the world economy slumped to 1.7 percent.
After reforming the tax system, its performance has succeeded in stimulating the growth of state taxes by around 20 percent annually, until in 2010 Indonesia's tax revenues reached around 600 trillion rupiah.
President Jokowi needs himself, a similar effect was experienced by Jokowi in Sri Mulyani's first year. In 2016 for the first time in history, the central government obtained the status of the BPK audit results with Unqualified Opinion (WTP). How credibility Sri Mulyani managed to produce strict rules for state fiscal policy and tax amnesty during 2016-2017. The touch is again proven by the figure of 2.5 percent as a reduction in the fiscal deficit target of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Its involvement in the central government has also resulted in a historical record for the first time, the central government obtained an Unqualified opinion (WTP) from the audit results of the Financial Audit Agency (BPK) in 2016.
In the midst of the spread of the Corona virus pandemic which has an impact on the weakening of the national economy. In order to target UMKM players to grow positively, Sri Mulyani is trying a special solution through people's liquidity.
Not turning it into gold like Midas, Srikandi Finance can change the world economy for the better, positively. Shortly in 2017, he was again asked to be the Best Minister of Finance in Asia.
Two Farewells for the CountryFarewell is not as easy as meeting. Farewell for the country, said Sri Mulyani. It seems bitter like medicine, but with good intentions later.
His first farewell after his contribution to the World Bank, Washington DC, United States. The second separation occurred after his resignation as Minister of Finance in 2016 in his own country.
His six years of contribution since 2010 with the World Bank (World Bank) was forced to end when President Jokowi called him home in 2016. He was full of joy accompanied by many positive words. This separation for the sake of the country, Sri Mulyani always wanted to go home and be with Indonesia.
His second farewell was also for the sake of the country, the best way. Although it is somewhat controversial in the record of his life story.
The presence of RI-1 and important officials passed and greeted each other before the event began. Soon there was silence when the Heroine of Finance appeared with a piece of paper and a mic standing in front of him. The opening sentence was spoken, the intonation slowly sounded sad, his expression was sad. At the end of the speech, he could no longer hold back tears. Sri Mulyani said goodbye. Officially resigned as Minister of Finance in SBY's presidential Cabinet.
Eighteen months after the bustle of the Bank Century bail out case, the public eye turned sharp cynicism towards Sri Mulyani and Boediono. Political elites need a target as a scapegoat, public pressure must be answered by the President SBY. Not wanting to get carried away in increasingly political matters and deviating far from the facts on the ground, he was willing to resign as Minister of Finance in the Indonesian Cabinet.
His decision to bail out Bank Century for the sake of the economy was complex, many interests were behind it, while he was only the executor who carried out his duties.
Not long ago, the effect of the srikandi financial farewell had a negative impact on the Indonesian economy. The 3.8 percent decline in the stock exchange occurred immediately, followed by the rupiah's value which also fell by 1 percent compared to the dollar. It can be said, the drastic decline in the last 17 months.
The figure who was named by CNN Asia as one of the eight most influential Asian women in the field of Economics and Politics, hastened to take off to Washington DC, United States. The World Bank (World Bank) is waiting for Sri Mulyani's services. She is the first woman in World Bank history to be trusted as the Managing Director since May 2010. Her job is to regulate and manage the monetary sector in 74 countries in the world.
