Daleep Singh

Daleep Singh (born March 12, 1976) is an American economist who serves as Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economics in the Biden administration.

In this capacity, Singh was reportedly responsible for implementing most of the emergency lending programs put in place by the Federal Reserve to backstop the economy.

[21] Before the invasion of Ukraine, Singh led the Administration’s efforts to launch a democratic alternative to China’s Belt and Road Initiative,[22] craft a digital assets strategy,[23] develop a global pandemic preparedness fund,[24] and reform the World Bank.

[30] He pushed for and coordinated the sanctions measures taken against Russia's central bank, as the US, EU, UK, Japan, and Canada prohibited any dealings with the entity only two days after the invasion began.

"[30] Singh began "an extended leave of absence" from the White House beginning in April 2022, immediately after returning from India where he met his Indian counterparts, reportedly due to family reasons.
