Indonesia Finance Chief Focused on Job Amid Resignation Talk

Indonesia’s veteran Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said she will stay in her post, dispelling resignation rumors that helped drive the stock market to its biggest slump in three years.

“I reiterate that I am here, I am standing here, and I am not stepping down,” Indrawati said in a briefing on Tuesday. “I remain focused on carrying out the president’s duties and trust to manage state finances professionally.”
