with Fotis Kourmousis

ABOUT THE EPISODE

Join me for this candid conversation on debt recovery and economic renewal with Fotis Kourmousis, a seasoned leader in debt management, sustainable development, and ESG-focused finance and investments, who tirelessly guided Greece through its historic debt crisis to a remarkable comeback.

As a key architect behind Greece’s financial resurgence and a pivotal figure in stabilizing the economy, Fotis’ firsthand account on the reforms, resistance, and resilience that reshaped a nation on the brink of collapse into one on the path of thriving, offers a window into the delicate balance between implementing swift economic changes with social stability and orchestrating the daunting task of modernizing entrenched systems.

With a focus on enhancing transparency and trust, from tackling non-performing loans with innovative digital platforms to the critical role of education, mediation, and legal frameworks in debt negotiations, this discussion delivers strategies that resonate far beyond Greece.

For investors in the secondary mortgage market, these lessons offer a clear roadmap: how systemic reforms, digital innovation, and strong mediation can transform distressed debt into renewed opportunity.

Understanding how Greece navigated its crisis provides a playbook for today’s uncertain economic environment – where preparation, adaptability, and strategic partnerships are everything.
