Nasution eager to get back to work

Bank Indonesia’s former deputy governor, Anwar Nasution, believes his resignation a week ago has given him new legitimacy, leaving him free to take up President Wahid’s offer of Governor. Here, Nasution tells FinanceAsia.com that the government needs to speed up changes in the law that will allow him to take over from former governor Sjahril Sabirin who is now under house arrest for his involvement in the Bank Bali scandal. If they don’t resolve the deadlock soon, Nasution says he will return to his life as an academic.
