JAKARTA, RAKYAT NEWS – Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati recently shared Indonesia’s key priorities for the upcoming G20 Summit in Brazil, where global leaders will gather to discuss pressing international issues. The announcement was made during her meeting with the British Ambassador to Indonesia and Timor-Leste, HE Dominic Jermey, at the Ministry of Finance office on November 15, 2024.

Sri Mulyani took to her personal Instagram account to outline Indonesia’s focus areas for the event.

One of the central issues for Indonesia at the G20 Summit will be addressing hunger and improving the welfare of communities. Sri Mulyani noted that Indonesia’s priorities are aligned with those of Brazil, the host country and current G20 president, in tackling food insecurity and poverty.

She emphasized that these are urgent issues that require collective global action, and Indonesia is keen to collaborate and share best practices in overcoming them.

Indonesia’s commitment to welfare extends beyond national borders. Sri Mulyani expressed Indonesia’s eagerness to learn from the experiences of other nations, particularly in terms of enhancing social welfare systems.

The Minister highlighted the importance of cross-country dialogue at the G20, where different countries can exchange ideas and strategies on improving quality of life for their citizens, especially in the context of a rapidly changing global economy.

Another key priority for Indonesia at the G20 will be addressing global governance challenges, particularly in reforming Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs). Sri Mulyani stressed the crucial role these institutions play in global development and climate action, as well as in supporting the economic stability of developing countries. She called for reforms that would enable MDBs to be more effective in meeting the evolving needs of low- and middle-income nations
