At least 15 ministers who served in Joko Widodo's administration are among the newly appointed, either retaining their jobs or taking on new positions.

Prabowo took office as the 8th President of Indonesia with a commitment to handle internal problems, such as corruption and making the country self-reliant in food security and energy. Indonesia aims to reach food self-sufficiency in the next five years and is aspiring to achieve energy self-sufficiency.

The new Indonesian President aims for economic growth of 8%, compared to the current 5%, within two to three years of taking office.
