Indonesia Drafts PFII Bill Amid Concerns Over Financial Oversight
What happened
The Finance Minister, Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, attended a meeting with the House of Representatives concerning the draft bill for the Indonesian International Financial Center (PFII). The early draft outlines stipulations regarding special legal and taxation powers.
