Pedro Solbes Biography
A highly respected and pivotal figure in Europe’s political arena, Pedro Solbes served as the European Commissioner of Economic and Monetary Affairs-overseeing the Euro’s integration across the European Union. A respected political and financial voice, Solbes delivers keynote speeches on integration, change management, and the global economy with a unique and experienced perspective.
Solbes began his career in the Ministry of Foreign Trade of Spain in 1968. In 1973, he became Commercial Counselor at the Spanish Mission to the European Community, and between 1978 and 1979, he served as Special Advisor to the Minister for Relations with the European Community. Subsequently, in 1979 Solbes was appointed General Director of Commercial Policy at the Ministry of Economics and Trade from 1982 through 1985. During this time he was appointed the General Secretary at the Ministry and helped negotiate Spain’s inclusion in the European Community.
In September 1999 Solbes became the European Commissioner of Economic and Monetary Affairs, a challenging post given the imminent entry of the new Member States into the European Union. During his time at the European Commission, Solbes oversaw the creation of the rules that underpin the Euro, Europe’s single currency.
Prior to his appointment as European Commissioner, Solbes held several ministerial posts in Spain and was a member of the Spanish Parliament. In 1985, he was appointed Secretary of State for European Community Relations and chaired the Internal Market Council during the first Spanish Presidency of the European Community. From 1991 to 1993, Solbes was Minister of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries and later became Minister of Economics and Finance, a position under which he led reforms to end Spain’s economic crisis by establishing the foundations for the adoption of the euro, and achieving three consecutive years of public surplus. In 2004, Solbes was appointed Second Vice President of the Government of Spain until his resignation in 2009.
Today, Solbes chairs the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group, created to assist the European Commission in the endorsement of International Financial Reporting Standards.
