JAKARTA - Minister of Finance, Sri Mulyani, reminded that the management of State Sharia Securities (SBSN) project should be carried out prudently and accountably. This was conveyed in her speech of 2020 SBSN Project closing and 2021 SBSN Project kick off, quoted from a press release on Wednesday (20/1).
