Indonesia's parliament approved Director General for Tax Darmin Nasution as the central bank
senior deputy governor, replacing Miranda Goeltom.
Nasution, born in 1948, will succeed Goeltom, whose five- year term expires in June. Nasution was endorsed by all of the 40 legislators in a parliamentary panel.
The Indonesian House of Representatives will confirm the appointment at a plenary
session tomorrow.
Darmin Nasution, who earned his doctorate from Paris Sorbonne University in 1986, will help Governor Boediono in fighting inflation and maintaining economic growth amid the global
recession. Bank Indonesia forecasts inflation of between 5 percent and 7 percent this year.
Indonesia's president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who is seeking re-election in July, last month nominated Nasution and PT Bank Mandiri Commissioner Gunarni Soeworo for the second-most
senior post at Bank Indonesia.
