The three professionals are PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Indonesia former country senior partner Haryanto Sahari, Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) former president director Darwin Cyril Noerhadi and law firm Makes & Partners founder and managing partner Yozua Makes.

“I believe in the good track records, experience and reputation of these professionals,” President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo said during the livestreamed ceremony.

“We hope that our sovereign wealth fund named the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA) will gain the trust of both domestic and international [investors] so we can expect large numbers of alternative financing for the development of our nation.”

The government expects to secure US$100 billion in investment into the sovereign wealth fund in the next two years and plans to use the fund to finance big projects such as infrastructure, tourism and technology, as well as the planned relocation of the country’s capital to boost the economy.
