What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

President Prabowo Subianto appointed Golkar Party chairman Bahlil Lahadalia as coordinating downstream and energy transition minister during a cabinet reshuffle on October 1. Additionally, Muhammad Sarmuji, the Golkar party secretary-general, was appointed industry minister, replacing Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita. Analysts note that these changes give the Golkar party greater weight in the executive branch.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The appointments reflect President Prabowo Subianto's increased emphasis on downstream processing. Analysts warn that this shift could mean less emphasis on non-mineral industries, such as textiles and footwear. Furthermore, the energy transition may be sidelined if it conflicts with the government's dominant downstreaming agenda.
