72 SRI MULYANI INDRAWATI
For making the Indonesian Miracle, and taking it international.
Managing director, World Bank | Washington
As Indonesia's finance minister from 2005 to 2010, Sri Mulyani Indrawati won high praise for tough-minded reforms -- from dismissing corrupt tax officials to nearly quadrupling the roll of income-tax payers -- that helped the country of 250 million beat back the global financial crisis with annual growth rates averaging 6 percent. Now that she's a managing director at the World Bank (and its most senior woman), Sri Mulyani is peddling her wares to the rest of the world, offering advice on economic growth for those countries hoping to replicate the Indonesian miracle.
Her prescription is simple: sensible fiscal cutbacks plus policies that encourage growth -- the tried-and-true methods of breaking down barriers to trade, investment, and innovation. At a March speech in Beijing, for instance, she cautioned that China's rise could be in jeopardy unless it allowed more, and more equal, competition. In a bit of role reversal for an official from a former Dutch colony, Sri Mulyani has also dispensed words of wisdom to debt-saddled Europe: Countries like Greece and Spain should get their balance sheets in order and then worry about building up their economies, she says -- but the two go hand in hand. Call it the Indonesian model.
Sri Mulyani has good reason to put her country on a pedestal: Indonesia has the world's third-fastest-growing consumer base after China and India, and it is predicted to surpass the likes of Britain and Germany to become the world's seventh-largest economy by 2030. So forget the BRICS, she says, and find a way to put another "I" on the list of the world's most successful emerging economies.
