At a press conference held after the coordination meeting of the national committee of IMF-WBG 2018 in Jakarta on Monday, Mulyani highlighted priority issues, such as regional economic stability, investment in human resources, and digital economic development.
The minister believes the issues are relevant to Indonesia`s national agenda and interests in maintaining economic stability through comprehensive structural reforms to handle global, regional, and domestic challenges.
"Of course, this meeting is important due to the geopolitical developments that have emerged lately," she remarked.
Discussion of these priority issues is one of the efforts to showcase reform and economic power to encourage investment and trade cooperation.
The ALG at the IMF-World Bank 2018 Annual Meeting invites ASEAN heads of state, secretary-general of the United Nations, World Bank president, and IMF managing director.
