Lorenzo Sigaut

Lorenzo Juan Sigaut is an Argentine economist.

Minister of Economy

He served as Minister of Economy of Argentina from April to December 1981, during the dictatorship of Roberto Eduardo Viola.
His term in office was marked by high inflation, external debt crisis and capital flight, that provoked an economic crisis which resulted in his replacement by Roberto Alemann.
His infamous quote "Anybody who bets on the dollar will lose", referring to those who had savings in United States dollars, became the laughing stock of Argentine economists for decades.
