Ioana Maria Petrescu (born July 1, 1980) is a Romanian economist who served as the country's Finance Minister between March and December 2014.[1]
The daughter of two engineers, she was brought up by her grandparents in Cornu until she went to school in Bucharest.[2] After graduating from the Mihai Viteazul high school, she received a B.A in economics and mathematics from Wellesley College, and later a Ph.D in economics from Harvard University.
She worked as an N.R.I. Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC, before she became an assistant professor at the University of Maryland.[3] Taking a two-year leave from teaching, she was named in the second half of 2013 a state counselor for economic affairs by Romanian prime-minister Victor Ponta.[4]
