Luis Caputo

Caputo completed his primary and secondary studies at the catholic and bilingual La Salle College in Buenos Aires.[5] He graduated with a degree in Economics from the University of Buenos Aires. He has been Professor of Economics and Finance in the postgraduate course of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. His cousin, Nicolás Caputo, is a construction industry entrepreneur close to Mauricio Macri.[6]

Caputo served as chief of trading for Latin America at JP Morgan between 1994 and 1998, and he held the same position for Eastern Europe and Latin America at Deutsche Bank between 1998 and 2003. From that year until 2008 he was president of the Argentine branch of Deutsche Bank. He has also been director of an electric distribution company and an administrator of common funds of investment created by him.

In December 2015 Caputo assumed the position of Secretary of Finances of the Macri government. During his tenure he played a key role in the negotiation with the hedge funds, where Argentina agreed to pay 9.352 million US dollars, thus reopening the country's debt cycle.[6][7] With a declared equity of 55.75 million pesos at the time of his appointment, he was the second richest national government member.

On 26 December 2016, after the dismissal of Alfonso Prat-Gay by President Macri, the Ministry of Finance and Public Finance was split in two, with Caputo being appointed Minister of Public Finance from January 2017 to June 2018, when he assumed the presidency of the Central Bank.[8]

On June 14, 2018, he was appointed President of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic due to the resignation of Federico Sturzenegger, who could not now control inflation because he had lost credibility.

After assuming, a currency crisis broke out that caused, in early August 2018, a sharp fall in Argentine bonds and stocks, the increase in country risk by 700 points, and the depreciation of the local currency, which arrived to quote the 40 pesos for each dollar.

Just three months after moving to the Central Bank, Caputo resigned and cited "personal issues" as the reason for his departure; he was immediately replaced by Guido Sandleris.[9]

On 2017, a government branch of the Fiscal Ministry, opened a judicial case accusing Luis Caputo of embezzling money from a Social Security fund by paying fees of at least 540,000 AR$ to a Company he had owned and directed until 2015 in lieu of services that were unnecessary.[10][11][12]

On 5 November 2017, the Paradise Papers, a set of confidential electronic documents relating to offshore investment, revealed that Caputo have managed at least two offshore wealth funds.[13] Neither the Cayman Islands–based Alto Global Fund nor its Miami-based parent company, Noctua Partners LLC, were listed in Caputo's financial disclosure statement, a statement that all public officials and candidates for office are required to make.[13] He told Argentine members of the ICIJ team that "it was an investment fund for friends and family."[13]

The funds, opened in 2009 and with over $100 million under management, remained under Caputo's management until December 2015, when Macri named him Finance Secretary, a post upgraded to Finance Minister in January 2017.[13]
