TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Finance Minister Sri Mulyani stated that she will lead the G20 Summit agenda of the finance track with Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo as Indonesia will host the G20 Presidency in 2022.
“Several priority agendas in the finance track meeting will begin to be discussed in December this year,” said Sri on her personal Instagram @smiindrawati on Thursday, September 16.
The discussion includes policy design for economic recovery, post-pandemic effects, central bank digital currency, support for sustainable financing, cross-border payment systems, financial inclusion of the digital sector and MSMEs, as well as international tax agreements.
The former managing director of the World Bank hoped that the G20 Presidency will be beneficial for not only Indonesia but also the world. “Especially to help poor and developing countries,” she added.
