Bank Indonesia
In July 2009 Nasution was appointed senior deputy governor of Bank Indonesia.[1] He was sworn into office on 27 July 2009.[2] Nasution immediately became acting governor of Bank Indonesia because the previous governor, Boediono, had resigned several months earlier in May to run for election as Vice President of Indonesia as team mate of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.[3]
Nasution was subsequently appointed as governor of Bank Indonesia on September 1, 2010,[4] after parliamentary hearings to consider his nomination as governor.[5] He was succeeded as governor when Agus Martowardojo was appointed in May 2013.
Coordinating Economics Minister
On August 12, 2015, in a cabinet reshuffle by President Widodo, Nasution was appointed as the Coordinating Economics Minister replacing Sofyan Djalil in the post.[6]
