MEXICO CITY: Mexico's new finance minister Arturo Herrera is a pragmatic and respected policy maker who says he was inspired to study economics by the Latin American debt crisis that wrought financial chaos and wrecked livelihoods in his country.
Mexico was rich in resources"but is a country with a lot of poverty", he told Reuters in an interview shortly after he was named deputy finance minister last year. Urzua did not elaborate on what policy steps led him to resign, but decisions by Lopez Obrador to cancel a partially built US$13 billion airport, designate scarce funds to a new oil refinery and forcefully renegotiate gas pipeline contracts with Canadian and US companies have all led to market volatility.
"Herrera has been the face of Mexico's finance ministry in meetings with international investors in recent months and is a credible choice," said Abbas Ameli-Renani, an emerging markets portfolio manager at Amundi. "We started studying economics in the middle of one of the most profound crises in the history of Mexico," Herrera said."Inflation, devaluation, the lack of employment were the topics that dominated life in Mexico."
