JAKARTA—Indonesia’s president announced a Cabinet reshuffle on Monday, replacing key economic and security ministers after deadly protests erupted across the country over lawmakers’ perks.
The Cabinet shake-up comes as public dissatisfaction rose with President Prabowo Subianto’s administration and the parliament’s perceived insensitivity over economic hardships.
Five ministers lost their jobs, including Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, a widely respected technocrat and former managing director of the World Bank.
