Ahead of a second presidential term for president-elect Donald Trump in the United States, Luhut Pandjaitan’s National Economic Council (DEN) has advised the government to “play smart” in its dealings with the world’s largest economy to prevent a strong reaction.
Luhut Pandjaitan, head of the National Economic Council, said a value-added tax (VAT) hike might be pushed back by two or three months as the government seeks to roll out social aid to keep the economy going.
Luhut Pandjaitan, the former coordinating minister for maritime affairs and investment under president Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, was sworn in by President Prabowo Subianto on Oct. 21 alongside over 100 ministers, deputy ministers and minister-level officials in the newly expanded cabinet. A fellow retired general, Luhut has been named head of the National Economic Council (DEN) in Prabowo's administration, as well as presidential adviser on digitalization and governance technology. This appointment reinforces Luhut’s continued influence over Indonesia’s economic development.
Prabowo’s Cabinet is the largest since 1966 when the nation’s first President Sukarno formed an administration of 132 ministers in an extremely tense political situation after a failed 1965 coup. The so-called “Dwikora Cabinet 2” was dismissed a month later.
