Santiago Bausili, the next governor of Argentina's Central Bank (BCRA), is no stranger to working with the country's new Minister of Economy, who is one of his closest friends. The 49-year-old Bausili has even been in a relationship with Luis lately'toto'Caputo Collaboration – The two are partners at Anker LatinAmerica Consulting, which has been working on a program for economic reform.
The incoming central bank governor even has experience – he served as finance minister in the former Mauricio Macri, as did Caputo. The similarities don't end there. Like Macri and Caputo, Bausiri was educated at the Cardenal Newman School – they attended the same school.
The new central bank governor has a degree in economics from the University of San Andrés, but he has spent most of his career in the United States. Prior to taking up public service, Baussily spent 11 years at JPMorgan Chase, where he gained experience in capital market financing and financial risk management. Subsequently, he worked for Deutsche Bank for almost nine years (Caputo also worked there), six of them in New York, where he dealt with debts from Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru, and later he served as a director of the agency in Buenos Aires, also linked to South American debt.
As a public official, Bousiri accompanied Caputo to his tenure as finance minister since January 2016, first as deputy minister and then as secretary. When his colleague was appointed president of ** Bank in mid-June 2018, Baussily was left in charge of the region.
The appointment sheds light on previous controversies, notably the Federal Court of Appeals on Tuesday revoking charges related to "negotiations incompatible with public office." The accusations are related to his former employer, Deutsche Bank, as well as a controversial decision to sign a contract with the financial giant to issue Argentine foreign debt and receive about $8.4 million in compensation. Baussily was accused of favoring his former employer, but he denied the accusation.
In 2019, the 49-year-old shared a video that caused controversy on social networks, in which a man complained about the garbage that littered the streets after the mass demonstrations of the Ni Una Menos anti-gender-violence movement.
You see, those green scarf girls on May Boulevard, it's a pigsty, it's dirty, nobody does anything, the city is so beautiful. He said while filming a man kicking a discarded plastic cup. The ex-**'s tweet was questioned by many users on social **, and the material was subsequently deleted, and earlier last week, a federal appeals court dropped the charges against him and exonerated him. The former ** is accused of "incompatible negotiations" when issuing foreign debt between 2015 and 2019, when Caputo was treasurer and later as head of the central bank.
Bosiri has been prosecuted twice by federal judge Sebastián Casanello, and in both cases, the Court of Appeal dropped the charges on the grounds of insufficient evidence by a majority of Martin Iruzun and Eduardo Farah (plus a negative vote by Roberto Boyco).
