MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico’s next government led by leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador will respect central bank autonomy and keep a floating exchange rate for the peso currency, finance minister designate Carlos Urzua said on Monday morning.

In a call with reporters, Urzua and other senior economic aides said the next government will also encourage private investment from both local and foreign investors while pursuing responsible fiscal and macro-economic policies.
