Argentina's new economy minister takes office

Sergio Massa took office as the new economy minister of Argentina on Wednesday. During a ceremony at the Casa Rosada Presidential Palace, in Buenos Aires, Massa was sworn into the new role by the country's president Alberto Fernandez. Analysts agree that Massa's challenge will be to appeal to the markets without clashing with the statist vision of de Kirchner, a former president whose political weight within the ruling party is decisive.
