Welcome to my personal web. 

I am Deputy Director General Economics at the Bank of Spain, and member of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Eurosystem.  I am also member of the Board of Trustees of the Instituto Complutense de Estudios Internacionales, and of the Editorial Board of Hacienda Pública Española. 

I have held other managerial positions within the Bank, ranging from monetary policy and international to Spanish economy, fiscal and forecasting issues. In connection to this, I have been member of other European System of Central Banks groups: the International Relations Committee (IRC) and the Working Group on Public Finances (WGPF). 

Before joining Banco de España I worked for the European Central Bank, the University Pablo de Olavide of Seville, the Research foundation centrA (Spanish regional public administration), the ERISTE-ICAE forecasting team, and the University Complutense of Madrid. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics (with distinction) from this latter University.   

My current analytical agenda focuses on assessing the impact of economic and financial fragmentation on the environment in which monetary policy operates, with particular attention to geopolitical and geoeconomic drivers, and the role of the public sector in this context. 

This agenda is driven by a commitment to addressing real-world challenges.
