In her first tenure, she was credited with strengthening Indonesia's economy, increasing investments, and steering Southeast Asia's largest economy through the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession. However, she was widely criticized for supporting a bailout of Bank Century in 2008, which costed the government Rp6.76 trillion ($737 million in 2008), resulting in the Indonesian House of Representatives holding a non-confidence vote on the bailout warrant. She resigned her post 2010 and took a position at the World Bank as Managing Director, before returning as finance minister in 2016.
