Indonesian financial regulator Mahendra Siregar and former finance minister Chatib Basri are among the top choices Prabowo Subianto is considering for the role of finance minister, sources close to the president-elect told Reuters. Investors are closely watching Prabowo's pick for the key role after ratings agencies warned of the cost of the programmes the president-elect had campaigned on, raising the risk of slippage in the country's hard-won record for fiscal discipline. The former special forces commander and current defence minister will pick a professional with market credibility to head the finance ministry, said three sources, who all sought anonymity as the matter is a sensitive one.
