Fernandez reshuffles Argentina cabinet
Argentine President
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has appointed new cabinet members in an
apparent effort to tackle the country's economic crisis.
Only hours after returning to work following her brain
surgery six weeks ago, Ms Fernandez replaced key figures in her
government.
She chose a new cabinet chief, economy and agriculture ministers and replaced the head of the central bank.
The changes are expected to deepen Ms Fernandez' interventionist policies.
The new economy minister, Axel Kicillof, who was previously deputy-minister, is widely expected to tighten exchange controls further.
Mr Kicillof has overseen the renationalisation of the main airline, Aerolineas Argentinas, and the expropriation of assets from Spanish oil giant Repsol in 2012.
