“I have confidence in (Ceron’s) ability to deliver, and I would like to emphasize that his work as head of the Treasury has been instrumental in advancing our agenda in recent years,” ‌Durigan ⁠said.

The reshuffle at the ministry comes after former Minister Fernando Haddad announced last week that he was stepping down from the role ⁠to run for Sao Paulo state governor in the October elections.

Durigan, who served as executive secretary ⁠under Haddad, was then appointed by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as ⁠finance minister, pledging “continuity” of the economic policies taken by his predecessor.
