Why it matters
González managed policy in sectors that the government treats as priorities and which attract US investors. His resignation creates policy uncertainty in the energy and mining sectors, where no successor has been named.
Luis Caputo serves as the Economy Minister and Javier Milei is the President of Argentina.
