The governor of the Bank of Greece (BoG) Yannis Stournaras has been invited to deliver the keynote address at the international conference «2026 Money and Banking Conference», organised by the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) on 16 and 17 November 2026 in Buenos Aires.
The focus will be on international recognition of Greece’s economic recovery and on showcasing the country’s experience as an example for economies undergoing transformation, according to a statement from the BoG.
The invitation is particularly significant as Argentina undertakes a major economic transition and seeks lessons from international experience. Having travelled an exceptionally difficult path from a deep fiscal and economic crisis to restoring confidence, consolidating its public finances and returning to growth, Greece has become a point of reference in discussions about the conditions for a successful economic transition.
The conference, whose central theme is «Growth, Productivity and Inflation», brings together leading central bankers, economists and representatives of the international economic community.
Mr Stournaras will take part in two particularly important sessions on Monday, 16 November:
In the session «Policy Experiences in Economic Development: Greece and Australia», alongside Ian Macfarlane, former governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia. Mr Stournaras will deliver a presentation titled «The Impact of Monetary Stability on Private Investment: Deregulation, Resource Reallocation, and Potential Economic Growth», analysing the contribution of monetary stability to private investment and economic growth potential.
In the discussion «The Resolution of a Sovereign Crisis: Lessons from Greece for Economies Undergoing Transformation», with Argentina’s economy minister, Luis Caputo, and Deputy Minister of Economic Policy José Luis Daza. The discussion will be moderated by the governor of the Central Bank of Argentina, Santiago Bausili.
According to the statement, the Bank of Greece governor’s presence carries added weight given that the conference also features leading figures from the international economic community, including Alberto Musalem, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and Philippe Aghion, a professor at the Collège de France and the 2025 Nobel laureate in economics.
The conference will conclude on Tuesday, 17 November, with an address by Argentina’s president, Javier Milei.
