BUENOS AIRES, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Argentina's central bank
did not intervene in the currency market during the first day of
trading after it let the peso float freely, the monetary
authority said in a statement on Thursday.
Argentina's peso <ARS=RASL> closed at 13.38 per U.S. dollar
on Thursday, down 26.55 percent after the government announced
it was lifting currency controls and allowing the currency to
weaken.
New President Mauricio Macri, a free markets advocate, has
vowed to reduce state intervention in Latin America's third
largest economy. His predecessor Cristina Fernandez had used
central bank reserves to prop up the peso at an artificially
inflated rate.
