The International Monetary Fund in partnership with the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia will hold a high-level conference on issues related to international tax reforms. Strengthening tax systems has emerged as a key priority to improve the resilience of national economies and support their growth objectives: strong tax systems are key for enhancing state building and international tax reforms are integral to domestic tax system development. Moving toward a fair, regionally-integrated, and efficient tax system across ASEAN member countries will help boost their growth and employment outcomes.

Participants are expected to include policymakers from the region, senior staff from international and regional organizations, senior staff from Ministries of Finance and Tax Administrations, and members of academia and civil society. The conference is open to the media. The opening ceremony and session I feature the participation of Mitsuhiro Furusawa, Deputy Managing Director, IMF, and Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Minister of Finance, Indonesia
