Indonesia lawmakers picked Mirza Adityaswara for Bank Indonesia’s number two job, approving an outsider as the central bank grapples with accelerating inflation and a sliding currency.

The parliament’s Commission XI, which oversees financial affairs, chose Adityaswara with 32 votes out of 47, Chairman Olly Dondokambey said in Jakarta today after the vote. Adityaswara, chairman of the agency that guarantees bank deposits in Indonesia, beat Anton Gunawan, PT Bank Danamon Indonesia’s chief economist, to the role.
