Daleep Singh (born March 12, 1976) is an American economist who served as Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economics in the Biden administration. Having previously served in the same role in the Biden administration, he joined PGIM in June 2022 as chief global economist before returning to the administration in February 2024.[1][2] After the Biden Administration, Singh returned to PGIM as its Vice Chairman.
He was one of the primary architects of the sanctions package that the US implemented on Russia after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 and has been at the forefront of designing and teaching "economic statecraft" at the intersection of economic policy and national security, including as a lecturer at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.[3][4][5][6]
Singh was born into a Punjabi Indian Ramgharia Sikh family in Olney, Maryland and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina.[7][8] He attended Enloe High School and was selected in 1992 to represent North Carolina at Boys' Nation, meeting President George H.W. Bush in the Rose Garden. His great-granduncle was the first Asian American elected to Congress, Dalip Singh Saund.[9]
Singh earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and public policy from Duke University, followed by a dual Master of Business Administration and Master of Public Administration in international economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Harvard Kennedy School.[10][11]
Career
He was also deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury for international affairs and acting Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Markets in the Obama administration, spearheading the Department's response to Greece's near-exit from the eurozone in 2015 [12][13][14] and advocating for reforms to bolster the resilience of Treasury markets.[15]
During the most acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Singh was executive vice president and head of the Markets Group at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In this capacity, Singh was reportedly responsible for implementing most of the emergency lending programs put in place by the Federal Reserve to backstop the economy.[16][17][18][19][20]
