Jorge Remes Lenicov (born 1948) is an Argentine peronist economist and politician who served as Minister of Economy and Production from January 3 till April 27, 2002 under Acting President Eduardo Duhalde .
His short term during the 1998–2002 Argentine great depression was unpopular. Remes Lenicov decided on an extreme freezing of the bank deposits, which was then coupled with the so-called pesificación ("peso-ification", a forced conversion of all U.S. dollar-denominated savings accounts into pesos at an arbitrary fixed exchange rate , considered by many constitutionalists to violate the fundamental right to private property), and a regulated devaluation . The fixed exchange rate system was abandoned soon afterwards, which was followed by a large depreciation and inflation. [2]
Afterwards Remes Lenicov served as Argentine ambassador to the European Union till 2011.
