All eyes on Massa in Argentina
Sergio Massa’s moment has come. The leader of Frente Renovador (FR), one of the three main factions in Argentina’s ruling left-of-centre Frente de Todos (FdT) coalition, was appointed as the country’s new “super minister” of the economy on 28 July. On 3 August he was formally sworn in as part of a glittering ceremony attended by around 500 specially invited guests. He promised “fiscal order, strengthened reserves and a trade surplus” as “motors” for investment, production, exports, and the defence of the domestic market.
