REFILE-Argentina president-elect Macri urges central bank officials to step down


(Adds dropped word "us" in quote, 2nd paragraph)

BUENOS AIRES Nov 23 President-elect Mauricio
Macri urged patience from Argentines while he defines his
economic strategy and called on officials in the central bank to
step aside so that his government could nominate a team that it
trusted.

"We hope they have the dignity and generosity to allow the
new government to chose its path by letting us choose people in
which I and all my team hold trust," Macri told a news
conference.

Macri said that his government would need to correct the
errors of outgoing President Cristina Fernandez during her eight
years in power, including capital controls on the over-inflated
peso currency.
