Santer Reportedly Resigning
Previously, the issue of Sri Mulyani's resignation was first raised by senior economist Faisal Basri in a recent discussion. Faisal even said that Sri Mulyani was Jokowi's minister who was most ready to resign.
“Morally, I heard that Mrs. Sri Mulyani is most ready to resign. Pramono Anung (cabinet secretary) is stuttering. The PDI (PDI Perjuangan) continues to defend Jokowi, it's a headache,” claimed Faisal in the Political Economic Outlook 2024 in Tebet, Newsdelivers.com.
Not only that, Faisal also said that Sri Mulyani and Prabowo often had different opinions, especially on budget issues.
“He said he was waiting for the momentum, hopefully this momentum will soon, God willing, become a powerful trigger, like Pak Ginandjar (Coordinating Minister for Economics, Finance and Industry Ginandjar Kartasasmita) and 13 other ministers who resigned during the era of Pak Harto (President Soeharto),” he continued.
