JAKARTA: Indonesia’s finance minister “continues to carry out her duties in managing state finances,” her ministry said in a statement today, amid reports she may resign from cabinet ahead of the Feb 14 presidential election.

“Minister Sri Mulyani continues to carry out her duties in managing state finances professionally and responsibly in accordance with good governance and regulations,” the ministry said in a statement.
