Axel Kicillof (Spanish: [ˈaksel kisiˈlof], born 25 September 1971) is an Argentine economist and politician who has been Governor of Buenos Aires Province since 2019. He is a member of the peronist left political coalition Homeland Force (formerly Union for the Homeland). Kicillof also served as Argentina's Minister of Economy from 2013 to 2015, under the presidency of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Kicillof was instrumental in the 2012 renationalization of YPF. It was on his advice that Fernández de Kirchner decided not to meet holdout bondholder demands to be repaid what they were owed in 2014. A professor of Economic Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires (he taught there from 1998 to 2010), Kicillof's thinking mixes Marxist elements with Keynesian economics.
