Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's cabinet, Martín Lousteau succeeded Peirano as Minister of Economy. He was appointed president of BICE following the end of his tenure, but ongoing disputes with the powerful Commerce Secretary, Guillermo Moreno, led to Peirano's resignation in July 2009. He later expressed his opposition to the foreign exchange controls implemented in 2012, and while Peirano remained broadly supportive of economic interventionism he believed this policy had gone to far and had become counterproductive.
