Mexico Finance Minister Rogelio Ramirez de la O has stepped down after more than three years as the country’s top budget official, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced in a video posted to social media Friday.

Deputy Finance Minister Edgar Amador will replace Ramirez de la O in the position, Sheinbaum said. Amador, who has previously served as a Mexico City official under former Mayor Miguel Mancera and as an adviser to central bank chief Victoria Rodriguez, has been in his current position since last year.
