Manuel Martín Sáez is a Chilean former government official who served as Minister of Economy, Development and Reconstruction under President Augusto Pinochet from 14 February 1983 to 10 August 1983.[1]

Career

Sáez was appointed through an executive decree recorded in the official legal registry of Chile.[1] He remained in office until August 1983, when he was succeeded by Andrés Passicot Callier.

His appointment took place during a cabinet reshuffle reported by El País on 15 February 1983, part of a wider reorganisation of the government's economic portfolios in response to the financial crisis of the period.[2][3]

The New York Times described him in 1983 as one of Pinochet's "few close friends".[4]
