Stournaras was Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers from 1994 to July 2000.[9] In this capacity he helped formulate the Greece's macroeconomic policy in the run-up to Greece's accession to the European Monetary Union (Eurozone), and represented the Ministry of Finance at the Monetary Committee (now Economic and Financial Committee) of the European Union. He was also responsible for consultations with other international and supranational organisations such as the International Monetary Fund, the European Commission and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.[8]

Along these lines, the Next Generation EU programme has already assigned 30% of the funds on fighting climate change, Encouraging green finance is an excellent way to to strengthen financial integration. In short, scaling up green finance can be a driver for a carbon neutral economy, financial integration and stability in the euro area.
