Indonesia's central bank has a new acting governor—but will the government let her do her job? · livemint.com

Indonesia has a special bank that takes care of the country's money.

This bank just got a new temporary leader named Destry.

Many people were relieved when she was chosen.

Her job is to keep Indonesia's economy and financial system safe.

Some people wonder if the president will let her do her job.

She might be tested soon, either by the president or by world markets.

The president may have to agree with her decisions.

That is because Indonesia needs money from investors in other countries.

If the government keeps bothering the money bank, investors might lose trust.

So Destry has a big and important job ahead.
