Jokowi shows that he means business, pushes through several measures

Jakarta

INDONESIAN President Joko Widodo is adding urgency to his efforts to salvage his economic agenda.

The president, "upset" at the lack of change, brought former finance minister Rizal Ramli into his Cabinet in a reshuffle last month to help take on political vested interests and cut through corrupt bureaucracies, Mr Ramli said in an interview. Mr Ramli's first mission is to more than halve waiting times at the country's main port in Jakarta within six weeks to speed up trade.
