JAKARTA - Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati's decision to quit after months of attacks by her political opponents is a setback for those pushing reforms viewed as crucial to luring investment and spurring growth.
Her replacement has not yet been announced, leaving investors uncertain over the future pace of reform in Southeast Asia's largest economy.
But some opposition politicians were quick to step up criticism of Indrawati, adding they hoped her fellow reformer, Vice-President Boediono, would be next to go.
