Pablo Quirno Magrane (born 24 August 1966) is an Argentine economist, currently serving asForeign Minister of Argentina under PresidentJavier Milei. He previously served as Secretary of Finance under Milei and held other positions in economics during the presidency ofMauricio Macri (2015–2019).[1][2]
Quirno graduated in economics from theUniversity of Pennsylvania and later worked atJPMorgan Chase as director of mergers and acquisitions for the Latin American region. He was also a member of the Regional Management Committee.[3] In 2004, Quirno founded a fixed-income investment management firm in the United States, where he was a managing partner until 2015, when it was sold toFiera Capital.[4]
In February 2016, Quirno was appointed General Coordinator of the Finance Secretariat, headed byAlfonso Prat-Gay, and under the ministership ofLuis Caputo, whom he knew from his time at JPMorgan.[5][6][7]
In January 2017, following the division of the Ministry of Finance and Public Finance, he became Chief of Staff of the newly formed Ministry of Finance, headed by Caputo. Later, in July of that year, the government appointed Quirno Chief of Staff of Advisors to the Secretariat of International Economic Relations, a position that had not previously existed in Argentine history.[8] Following Caputo's move to the presidency of theCentral Bank, Quirno joined the board of directors of the Bank in July 2018. He resigned from this position following the replacement of Caputo byGuido Sandleris in September 2018.[1]
In December 2023, followingJavier Milei'sinauguration, Milei chose the finance team that had worked with Mauricio Macri to carry out his economic plan. Quirno was subsequently appointed Secretary of Finance, while Caputo as Minister of Economy andSantiago Bausili, whom Quirno also knew from his time at JPMorgan, as president of the Central Bank.[1]
In December 2024, in the context of a restructuring of theMinistry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, he was appointed as responsible for coordinating International Economic Relations. However, he did not formally hold the position of secretary, but rather acted as an advisor in that area, collaborating on issues related to foreign economic policy while maintaining his position in finance.[1]
In October 2025, after the resignation ofGerardo Werthein, Quirno was appointed as foreign minister in order to deepen the "pro-market" vision of the government.[9]
In 2018, Quirno was accused ofnepotism by themedia after his 26-year-old son was appointed undersecretary of the Secretariat of International Economic Relations.[2][10]
