Pedro Tinoco
Pedro Tinoco (1927–1993) was a Venezuelan businessman and politician. Tinoco was Minister of Finance from 1969 to 1972, under President Rafael Caldera. He was then Chairman of the Board of Banco Latino from 1975, and one of Carlos Andrés Pérez's "Twelve Apostles". He resigned in 1989 to take on the presidency of the Central Bank of Venezuela. Under Tinoco's chairmanship of the central bank, interest rates were liberalised with little effective banking supervision, and Banco Latino, which in 1988 was the central bank's largest debtor, went from the country's fifth-largest to second-largest bank. Banco Latino was the first bank to fail in the Venezuelan banking crisis of 1994. He was a candidate in the 1973 Venezuelan presidential election, in which he was one of four candidates claiming the backing of Marcos Pérez Jiménez; he won less than 1% of the vote. Pedro Tinoco was also a professor of Public Finance and Political Economy at Universidad Central de Venezuela. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Finance Ministers Of Venezuela
Finance is the study and discipline of money, currency and capital assets. It is related to, but not synonymous with economics, the study of production, distribution, and consumption of money, assets, goods and services (the discipline of financial economics bridges the two). Finance activities take place in financial systems at various scopes, thus the field can be roughly divided into personal, corporate, and public finance. In a financial system, assets are bought, sold, or traded as financial instruments, such as currencies, loans, bonds, shares, stocks, options, futures, etc. Assets can also be banked, invested, and insured to maximize value and minimize loss. In practice, risks are always present in any financial action and entities. A broad range of subfields within finance exist due to its wide scope.
