Axel Kicillof (Spanish: ['aksel kisi'lof]; born 25 September 1971) is an Argentine economist and politician who has been Governor of Buenos Aires since 11 December 2019.
Kicillof also served Argentina's Minister of Economy from 2013 to 2015 under the administration of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and as a Federal Deputy for Buenos Aires.Described by his biographer as “the economic guru who captivated Cristina Kirchner,” Kicillof was instrumental in the 2012 renationalization of the energy firm YPF.
It was on his advice that President Fernández de Kirchner decided not to meet holdout bondholder demands to be repaid what they were owed in 2014.
The decision was supported by among others the United Nations, the Organization of American States, the G-77 (133 nations), the Council on Foreign Relations, the American Bankers Association, and bondholders whose payments were stopped by the 2014 ruling.Kicillof has been a firm believer in Keynesian economics, and an avid admirer of the Kirchners since his student days when he was a member of the pro-Kirchner youth group La Cámpora and head of the radical student group TNT.
A longtime professor of Economic Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires and outspoken critic of the neo-liberal policies of the Kirchners' predecessors, he is known for his unorthodox haircut and dress code, signifying his anti-establishment views.
