Nicolás Dujovne (Spanish pronunciation: [nikoˈlas ðuˈxoβne]; born May 18, 1967) is an Argentine economist and former Minister of the Treasury between 2017 and 2019 under the administration of Mauricio Macri.
He was also appointed by the State to be the director of Papel Prensa S. A., a newsprint paper manufacturer, and represented the Ministry of Economy in the Central Bank of Argentina.
He has also been a consultant to the World Bank in Buenos Aires and Washington, D.C.[5] He was a columnist in the daily newspaper La Nación and co-hosted the program Odyssey Argentina on the television channel Todo Noticias of the Clarín Group.
Close to Mauricio Macri, Dujovne has been coordinator of the economic cabinet of his government, along with Mario Quintana, working in the technical teams of the Pensar Foundation,[6] and contributing during his presidential campaign on fiscal issues.
Dujovne looked for ways to restore confidence by taking fiscal balance as an anchor, but nothing worked until the arrival of the International Monetary Fund, an idea attributed to Luis Caputo.
Key to this leap was the strong link with Washington, particularly with Steven Mnuchin, US Secretary of the Treasury and Donald Trump's man of confidence, with the IMF's technical teams and with the 2018 G20 Ministers of Economy (Dujovne acted as coordinator, when Argentina was the first host country).
