He has been UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, Executive Secretary of the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, and in his country, Colombia, Minister of Finance on two occasions, Minister of Agriculture, Director of the National Planning and Member of the Board of Directors of the central bank. He is also a member and has been Chair of the Committee for Development Policy of ECOSOC and of the Independent Commission for the Reform of International Corporate Taxation (ICRICT). He has published extensively on macroeconomic theory and policy, international financial issues, economic and social development, international trade, and Colombian and Latin American economic history.
