Scorecard Mixed as Indonesia's Jokowi `Drifts' in First Year

Since taking office a year ago, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo has had mixed results in his agenda to lift the economy, build infrastructure and reduce inequality.

The former governor of Jakarta was elected as the first leader outside the machinery of the country’s main political parties, on high expectations he could cut corruption and reform the bureaucracy in the world’s largest archipelago. On his inauguration on Oct. 20, 2014, he was feted like a rock star in the capital’s main thoroughfare with crowds swarming around his open horse-drawn carriage.
