Jorge Remes Lenicov
Jorge Remes Lenicov is an Argentine economist and politician who served as Minister of Economy and Production from January 3 till April 27, 2002.
His short term was unpopular. President Eduardo Duhalde had inherited a bankrupt country. Remes Lenicov decided on an extreme freezing of the bank deposits, which was then coupled with the so-called pesificación, and a regulated devaluation. The fixed exchange rate system was abandoned soon afterwards, which was followed by a large depreciation.
Afterwards Remes Lenicov served as Argentine ambassador to the European Union till 2011.
