INDONESIA has a blunt message for the US Federal Reserve's Jerome Powell and other global financial chiefs gathering in Bali this week: be mindful of the effects of your policies on emerging economies.

Better policy coordination is needed among the International Monetary Fund's 189 members to shield emerging economies, she said.
