Argentine central bank chief resigns amid economic turmoil
Friday, 3 October 2014
BUENOS AIRES, Oct 02 (AFP): Argentina's central bank governor resigned Wednesday, the president's office said, as the country grapples with an economic slowdown, a debt default and a damaging row with the United States. Juan Carlos Fabrega's decision to quit after less than a year in the post comes a day after an emotional President Cristina Kirchner alleged in a televised address that domestic and US interests were pushing to devalue the peso, topple her center-left government -- and even kill her.
