Indonesia's Ministry of Finance published remarks by Deputy Minister of Finance Juda Agung from a public lecture at the State Finance Polytechnic STAN, framing global uncertainty as requiring leaders who can respond quickly and manage risks, and setting out four leadership principles for technocrats and policymakers. The principles covered building solid, integrated inter-agency synergy, with close collaboration between fiscal and monetary authorities as the foundation for consistent and effective policy. The remarks also emphasised creative and innovative thinking when conventional approaches are no longer adequate, decisiveness in choosing among scenarios, and an adaptive, agile stance to adjust policy dynamically as conditions evolve.
