WASHINGTON – Earlier today, Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen met with Coordinating
Minister for Maritime A airs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan of Indonesia. During the
meeting, Secretary Yellen discussed progress on the developing Just Energy Transition
Partnership for Indonesia, which seeks to accelerate Indonesiaʼs transition away from coal
and toward a cleaner energy future. The Secretary also discussed Indonesiaʼs continued
e orts to develop and implement an ambitious strategy for a power sector transition that
drives jobs and innovation while being just and equitable for the most vulnerable. Secretary
Yellen acknowledged the recent issuance of the Presidential Decree on Renewable Energy and
noted the considerable amount of private capital that is prepared to invest in Indonesiaʼs
transition if given continued clear and strong policy signals. The Secretary also noted
President Bidenʼs enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act, which sets the United States on a
strong pathway to meeting our emissions reductions targets while catalyzing jobs through
our largest-ever investment in fighting climate change. In addition, Secretary Yellen raised
other issues, including the importance of maintaining stable energy prices and a steady flow
of oil onto international markets to address the global high costs of energy.
