Jakarta (B2B) - Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono menunjuk Ketua Komite Ekonomi Nasional (KEN) Chairul Tanjung sebagai Menteri Koordinator Perekonomian baru menggantikan Hatta Rajasa yang telah mengundurkan diri.
"Saya telah mengambil kesimpulan untuk mengangkat saudara Chairul Tanjung sebagai Menko Perekonomian yang baru," kata Presiden Yudhoyono di Kompleks Istana Kepresidenan di Jakarta, Jumat.
Beberapa waktu lalu Hatta Rajasa menyatakan mundur dari jabatan kabinetnya setelah menerima pencalonannya sebagai pendamping Prabowo Subianto pada Pemilu Presiden 2014 bulan Juli nanti.
Jakarta (B2B) - Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono appointed chief of the National Economic Committee (KEN) Chairul Tanjung as chief economic minister replacing Hatta Rajasa who had resigned.
"I have come to the conclusion to appoint Chairul Tanjung as the new coordinating minister for economic affairs," the President said at the Presidential Palace here on Friday.
The President said Chairul Tanjungs competence is adequate and his commitment to boost the national economy strong.
Hatta Rajasa, who is also chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), had submitted a letter of resignation to President Yudhoyono because he will be nominated to contest for the vice presidency. He will pair with the Great Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party chief patron Prabowo Subianto, who had previously declared his bid for the presidency.
