Ladislav Kamenický graduated from the University of Economics in Bratislava.[1] In 2012 he became an MP of the National Council of Slovakia. As an MP, is seen as polite and staunchly loyal to the leadership of Smer-SD's Chairman and Kamenický's personal friend Robert Fico .[2] In 2019 he became the Minister of Finance, filling the seat emptied after the previous minister Peter Kažimír became the Central Bank Governor. The choice of Kamenický was seen as a compromise between various factions of Smer-SD.[3] After the defeat of SMER-SD in the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election, Kamenický returned to the parliament.
