JAKARTA, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Indonesia has appointed Franky Sibarani, a former official of food and beverage company GarudaFood, to head its main investment body, the cabinet secretary said on Thursday.
"Sibarani was chosen because he is a business actor and was nominated by several parties to head BKPM," Cabinet Secretary Andi Widjajanto told reporters, using the acronym for the Investment Coordinating Board. (Reporting by Jakarta bureau; Writing by Kanupriya Kapoor; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)
