Overview
- Daza, Argentina’s secretary of Economic Policy, acknowledged on a livestream that he was offered posts in Chile’s incoming government and said he is evaluating them.
- Caputo stated that “the possibility exists” that Daza could become Chile’s economy minister and publicly lauded his profile.
- Reports in both countries mention a potential Economy–Energy–Mining megaministry for Daza, though no portfolio has been confirmed by officials.
- The offer surfaced around Kast’s visit to Buenos Aires, where he met President Javier Milei, Caputo and adviser Jorge Quiroz to discuss priorities and regional cooperation.
- Analysts note that Daza’s departure would be a significant loss for Argentina’s economic team during ongoing talks with multilateral lenders.
