Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance published remarks by Vice Finance Minister Juda Agung at the 13th ASEAN Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting, welcoming the Philippines’ Priority Economic Deliverables (PEDs) for the ASEAN Finance Track 2026 and backing a regional emphasis on financial health. The PEDs were framed as a timely basis for stronger ASEAN collaboration amid heightened global uncertainty, with the Ministry citing economic fragmentation, technological disruption, climate risks and geopolitical dynamics. The agenda was positioned as supporting concrete initiatives on digital transformation and greater economic inclusivity, while the financial health priority was linked to Indonesia’s own policy shift from a focus on financial inclusion toward a broader approach centred on financial resilience, prudent financial management and long-term welfare. Indonesia indicated it is ready to work with other ASEAN member states to support effective implementation of the PEDs.
