Profile

An economist and longtime television commentator, Javier Milei entered politics late, winning a seat in Congress in 2021 and the presidency of Argentina in 2023. Taking office in a country facing annual inflation above 200 percent, he launched a program of deep public spending cuts, deregulation and a return to fiscal balance. The sharp slowdown in inflation that followed drew the attention of economists and investors worldwide. A frequent presence on the international stage, from Davos to Western capitals, he has become one of the most closely watched leaders in Latin America.

Why this selection

His stewardship of Argentina is producing measurable effects on one of the world's most closely watched economies and feeding an international debate on economic policy.
