JAKARTA, Indonesia--()--PT Tokopedia, Indonesia’s leading technology company, announced today that Agus Martowardojo has joined the company’s leadership as President Commissioner.

Agus Martowardojo has over 30 years of experience as a banker, Finance Minister and Central Bank Governor. As the Governor of Bank Indonesia, Agus was active in maintaining the stability and resilience of the Indonesian economy by optimizing monetary, macroprudential and payment policies as well as management of Rupiah circulation. He issued innovative policies, including the Bank Indonesia 7-Day Reverse Repo Rate, that strengthened the transmission of monetary policy and integrated inflation controls across Indonesia.

During his tenure as Minister of Finance from 2010-2013, Agus managed Indonesia’s fiscal policy in a disciplined and effective manner to drive growth and improve economic resilience.

In the same period, Agus also developed Bank Mandiri's business through acquisitions, joint ventures, and strategic alliances.
