Former Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati is scheduled to leave for Washington DC, USA, on Wednesday afternoon following her new position as managing director in World Bank. 
Accompanied by husband Tonny Sumartono, Mulyani left her house in South Jakarta at 11.50 a.m. to Soekarno-Hatta Airport.
Mulyani had a chance to receive a visit from former Finance Minister Mar’ie Muhammad and Director General of Taxation Mochamad Tjiptotardji before leaving her residence.
Mulyani asked the guests and media to support her through prayers, so she could perform well in her new work place.
Starting June 1, Mulyani will be the second-most powerful person after President Robert Zoellick in the World Bank, and will oversee 74 nations in three regions — Latin America and the Caribbean, East Asia and the Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa.
