Sri Adiningsih

Sri Adiningsih (11 December 1960 – 17 June 2023) was an Indonesian professor of economics at the Gadjah Mada University who served as the chairperson of the Presidential Advisory Council from 19 January 2015 to 20 October 2019.

[4] Upon completing high school, Sri Adiningsih applied to the Gadjah Mada University (UGM) and was accepted in both the medicine and economics faculty.

[3] During the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the economic reforms that occurred following fall of Suharto, Sri often provided commentaries for national and international publications.

[10] In 2011, Sri was recommended by People's Consultative Assembly (MPR, Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat) speaker Taufiq Kiemas to become a minister in the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono administration.

She was the adviser and principal economist for Exim Securities in 1997, head of the Bank Danamon audit commission from 2002 until 2003, and commissioner for the Indosat telecommunications corporation from 2002 until 2005.

[6] Several months after the inauguration of Joko Widodo as president in 2014, Sri was nominated for the position of finance minister, but was rejected due to a lack of experience in managing the government's financial affairs.

Sri's appointment to the council was linked to her involvement in assisting Megawati Sukarnoputri—the chairman of Joko Widodo's PDIP party—in economic affairs during her presidential campaign.

Their only child, Stri Nariswari Setiaji, worked as an expert staff in the Presidential Advisory Council and consultant to several overseas corporations.
