About

He represented Madrid in the Congress of Deputies from 1993 until 1996 and again from 2016 until 2019, when he announced that he would not stand in the April 2019 election. He also represented Jaén from 2000 until 2004, and Seville from 2011 until 2016.

His first government position was as Secretary of the State of the Economy in José María Aznar's first government, in which he was a strong supporter of Spain joining the Eurozone. After Aznar's government was reelected in 2000, he became the Finance Minister, succeeding Rodrigo Rato in Aznar's first government.

Montoro returned to his former post under Mariano Rajoy's first and second governments, albeit slightly restructured compared to the 2000s. He left office when the PP government fell in 2018.
