Finance Minister Sri Mulyani is ousted by Indonesia following weeks of public demonstrations
In a significant move, the Indonesian government announced a cabinet reshuffle on September 8, 2025, following two weeks of protests across the country. The protests, which included calls for a fairer taxation system, did not provide any additional details about the reasons for the reshuffle or the reasons behind the removal of Sri Mulyani Indrawati as Finance Minister.
During the protests in late August, looters broke into Sri Mulyani's home, causing damage, but no further details about the incident were provided. The details about the composition of the new cabinet remain unknown, and no information was given about who will replace Sri Mulyani Indrawati as Finance Minister.
Prasetyo Hadi, the State Secretariat Minister, made the announcement of the cabinet reshuffle. The reshuffle took place in Jakarta, Indonesia, and saw Sri Mulyani Indrawati's successor as Finance Minister appointed as Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa. However, no additional details about the reasons for Sri Mulyani's removal or the composition of the new cabinet were provided.
The protests, which occurred across Indonesia, did not provide any information beyond the calls for a fairer taxation system. The specific details about the composition of the new cabinet remain unknown, and no further details about the reasons for the cabinet reshuffle, beyond the protests, were provided.
The Indonesian government has yet to release any further statements regarding the cabinet reshuffle or the reasons behind it. The looting of Sri Mulyani's home and the protests that followed have raised questions about the state of the Indonesian economy and the government's policies. As the details about the new cabinet and the reasons for the reshuffle remain unclear, the Indonesian people will be watching closely to see how the government moves forward.
