biography

Chardouvelis spent 20 years of his career in the USA after graduating from high school . He received a bachelor's degree from the philosophy faculty at Harvard University and an M.Sc. in applied mathematics (1978) at the same university. In 1983 he received his PhD in Economics (1983) from the University of California, Berkeley . In 1994 he returned to Greece. After the cabinet reshuffle in Samara's cabinet due to the loss of votes in the 2014 European elections , Chardouvelis was finance minister from June 10, 2014 to January 26, 2015. The term of office of the Samara cabinet ended one day after an early parliamentary election ; he was succeeded by the Cabinet Alexis Tsipras I . After several months of investigations, the anti-corruption committee of the Greek parliament decided at the end of December 2015 that Hardouvelis would have to answer to the judiciary on suspicion of tax evasion.

He is Chief Economist and Head of Economic Research at EFG Eurobank Ergasias and at the Center for Economic Policy Research in London, Chairman of the Academic Council of the Greek Banking Company, member of the Academic Council in Cyprus and the International Institute of Management, and member of the Global Asset Management Committee .

Positions

Chardouvelis stresses that it is possible to cut public spending: “ It is a common belief that public spending is inelastic, but I think there is room for cuts if you work hard on it ... For example, if you pay of overtime in the public sector. “Wall Street is criticized by Chardouvelis. He criticized Greece's accounting practices: " Politicians want to play the ball forward and if a bank can show them a way to postpone a problem they fall for it " " When a banker shows politicians a way how to do it." If a problem can be shifted to the future, they take action immediately. “Chardouvelis describes this as a classic case of co-dependency. Both Greek politicians and Goldman Sachs bankers were only interested in short-term success, according to Chardouvelis. Italy and the JPMorgan bank entered into a similar swap deal in 1996, according to Chardouvelis, and did not include it as a liability on the government's balance sheet.
