the plans of Serge Massa They have their interpreters. The leader of the Renovation Front exhibits a complete economic team, some of whom advised him during his tenure as president of the Chamber of Deputiesand others that even sounded to replace Martin Guzman at the Ministry of Economy at the beginning of July.
Massa has the advice, among others, of the former minister Miguel Peirano; Gabriel Delgado, an expert on agricultural issues; Lisandro Cleri, deputy director of the Sustainability Guarantee Fund; and Guillermo Michel, current director general of Customs.
The Tigren has been preparing his team to manage the government’s economic policy for some time. In fact, in May, a dinner by the former mayor of Tigre with his team was revealed, in which, in addition to those named, Martin Redrado, Marco Lavagna and Diego Bossio. The possibility of landing was already a fact.
Before the abrupt departure of Martin Guzman, Massa it sounded strong to occupy the head of the Cabinet, but Alberto Fernández ended up leaning towards a change only in the economic portfolio, in which Silvina Batakis assumed.
The setback in July was not minor. The Dolar blue continued its upward course and managed to pierce the historic sum of 350 pesos, although then it timidly retreated. And inflation also remains a big problem: waiting for the nINDEC numbers, the consulting firm Focus Market indicated an increase of 9.5% in items of basic consumption, such as hygiene. Meanwhile, the measures taken so far have failed to move the needle on the markets. With those challenges, those who take charge of the economy will have to make drastic decisions to recover some of the lost confidence. It is the Government’s challenge to reach the full 2023.
