        "content": "<p>According to Anas, it is perfectly acceptable for the Finance\nMinister to criticise economists deemed overly pessimistic. However,\neconomists also have the right to remain critical in reminding the\ngovernment about the economy\u2019s current challenges. \u201cMr Purbaya may scold\ncritical economists. Economists may also remain critical and remind Mr\nPurbaya about the challenging economic situation,\u201d Anas stated via his X\naccount on Friday, 27 March 2026. He stressed that the most important\ntask for the Finance Minister is to focus on carrying out his duties as\nbest as possible. Confidence and optimism, he continued, must be\naccompanied by clear and realistic measures. \u201cWhat Mr Purbaya must\nfulfil is to focus on carrying out his duties well. Measured confidence\nand optimism. As best as possible in managing the state\u2019s finances,\u201d he\nexplained. Anas also emphasised the importance of the government\u2019s\nopenness to receiving input, including criticism that may feel\nuncomfortable. \u201cOne way is to be willing and brave enough to accept\nbeneficial ideas and thoughts. Even if they sometimes taste bitter on\nthe tongue and buzz in the ears,\u201d he added. He concluded by reiterating\nthe public\u2019s hope that the government will succeed in fulfilling its\nduties for the people\u2019s benefit. \u201cThe people want the government to\nsucceed in carrying out its tasks,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>",
