Prabowo Targets Corruption, Resources to Drive Indonesian Growth

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said he will use the power of the state to root out corruption and direct resources to social programs, which he believes will drive growth in Southeast Asia’s biggest economy.

The former general, speaking in his first State of the Nation address Friday, touted targeting “illegal” palm oil estates and mines, as well as officials and companies suspected of corruption. He’s set to unveil a draft budget in a second speech later in the day.
