President Prabowo Subianto inaugurated Indonesia’s largest cabinet since the New Order, expanding it to 48 ministers and 56 deputies. The move reflects both an effort to fulfill broad political promises and accommodate a wide coalition of supporters. Key priorities include infrastructure, food security, poverty reduction, human capital development, diaspora protection, and downstreaming investment. The cabinet structure signals Prabowo’s intention to strengthen economic facilities, global outreach, fiscal stability, and cultural identity, while relying on figures like Luhut Pandjaitan and Mari Elka Pangestu to bolster international economic diplomacy. The challenge ahead lies in ensuring coordination and synergy across the sprawling administration.
