The Finance Minister, Ignacio Briones, was selected by the British magazine The Banker, of the Financial Times group, as Finance Minister of the Year for the Americas, which includes Central, South and North America.
Minister Briones receives the recognition, explains the magazine, due to his ability to negotiate economic stimulus measures during the pandemic and the Ministry’s management of sustainable financing.
The Banker also recognized the finance ministers of France, Vietnam, Qatar, and Morocco.
The publication noted that “at the beginning of March, when the first case of Covid-19 was reported in Chile, the country was divided by the social crisis and dissatisfaction with the political class. In that context, finding public financing solutions in the midst of the pandemic required much more than the intellectual acumen generally expected from a finance minister. But the Minister Ignacio Briones has shown his courage ”.
Along these lines, The Banker emphasized the Secretary of State’s ability to secure an emergency package in the midst of the pandemic equivalent to US $ 28 billion, including direct transfers for those in need and subsidies for job creation. .
This was already highlighted in July by the Financial Times, in an article on Ignacio Briones’ challenges in the framework of covid-19, the social crisis, and the economic recession.
