The Senior Economist will bring strong
economic analytic and policy assessment to Prospera’s support of government
agencies and work with stakeholders across the engagement areas.
The Senior Economist will support Prospera in
advancing its macroeconomic framework to facilitate Indonesia’s Vision 2045.
This involves integrating macro-fiscal figures with the nation’s climate and
energy transition, including sectoral profiles and labour market dynamics.
The framework is pivotal for managing risks
and seizing opportunities during the energy transition. It encompasses
macroeconomic planning to mitigate job losses and inflation amid resource and
investment shifts, energy planning to ensure access and reliability, public
finance management to maintain fiscal sustainability, and financial sector
oversight to incorporate climate risks into prudential regulation.
The Senior Economist will collaborate with the
Macro Lead to set strategic priorities, produce analytical outputs, and engage
with relevant Prospera teams. The role also includes supporting technical
discussions with the Government of Indonesia (GoI) counterparts.
This position demands deep expertise in
Indonesia’s policymaking landscape and strong networks across key ministries.
It aligns with Prospera’s mission to support policy and regulatory reforms
aimed at (1) leveraging green industry opportunities, (2) unlocking public and
private financing for the transition, and (3) addressing macro-fiscal risks
tied to this agenda.
