Argentina’s central bank is getting a new chief after the monetary authority failed to stop the peso’s plunge despite obtaining the biggest loan in the history of the International Monetary Fund.
Luis Caputo, previously the finance minister, will take over the post following Federico Sturzenegger’s surprise resignation. Investors need him to lay out a strategy to curb volatility in the currency, which has lost more than a quarter of its value since the end of April, including a selloff of more than 6 percent Thursday that left it at a record low.
Caputo, 53, a former portfolio manager and banker, may be better positioned to win back investors who have complained about a lack of communication and incoherent policy from the central bank amid the worst peso rout since President Mauricio Macri allowed it to start trading freely in late 2015. Nicolas Dujovne will lead a united Ministry of Finance and Treasury, the government said.
