Prof. Dr. Raden Mas Sumitro Djojohadikusumo (sometimes spelt Soemitro Djojohadikoesoemo) (born in Karanganyar, Kebumen, Central Java on May 29, 1917 and died in Jakarta on March 9, 2001) was one of Indonesia's most prominent economists. During his lifetime Sumitro held several prominent roles including the Dean of the Faculty of Economics at the University of Indonesia.
Sumitro's children include Prabowo Subianto and the Indonesian entrepreneur Hashim Djojohadikusumo. Bianti Djiwandono, his daughter, is married to the former Governor of Bank Indonesia, Soedradjad Djiwandono. His son Prabowo was briefly married to Titiek Hediati, the daughter of former Indonesian president Suharto.
Sumitro was born in Kebumen, Central Java, on May 29, 1917, the eldest son in an aristocratic Javanese family. Soemitro was the son of Margono Djojohadikusumo, the founder of Bank Negara Indonesia and the first chief of DPAS and member of the Committee for Preparatory Work for Indonesian Independence (Badan Penyelidik Usaha Persiapan Kemerdekaan Indonesia, or BPUPKI). He spent his childhood in Java before moving to Europe, where he received his academic training, first at the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris and later at Economische Hogeschool (the College of Economics) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
He first won recognition as an economist at the age of 29, serving as an adviser to the Dutch delegation attending the United Nations Security Council meeting in London in 1946.
He married his wife, Dora Sigar who was born in North Sulawesi, in 1947.
In March 1946 Sumitro returned to the newly independent Indonesia. He served in a series of successive governments, starting as an assistant to prime minister Sutan Sjahrir. In 1948 he was the deputy chief delegate representing Indonesia at the UN Security Council meeting at Lake Success.
