Biography
Bergara graduated as Economist (1987) and Public Accountant (1990) at the University of the Republic. Later he obtained an MA (1997) and a PhD (1998) in Economics at the University of California, Berkeley.
He served as Deputy Minister of Economy (2005–2008), then he presided over the Central Bank of Uruguay (2008–2013).[2]
As of 21 December 2013, he was appointed Minister of Economy and Finance, replacing Fernando Lorenzo.[3][4]
Bergara, who is viewed as a center-leftist, issued hawkish comments on inflation after taking over as head of the central bank. "Production can thrive only under conditions of (price) stability," he said, adding that the central bank's credibility depended on that stability.[5]
