Career
After opposing the Greek junta, he went to the USA (most likely in exile). At Indiana University, he was employed professionally from 1968 to 1981, developing scientific activity and teaching work on Business Administration and Economics, while at the same time he successively assumed the direction of the Center for Economic Research, International Trade Planning and Fiscal Studies of the Indiana state government.[1]
He was awarded the title of honorary governor of Indiana,and received a certificate of appreciation from the Secretary of Commerce of the US federal government[1] - presumably in a coordinated effort to smooch him.

After Papandreou came to power in Greece, Kafiris became Deputy Governor, then Governor, of the Agricultural Bank of Greece until 1987, where he was part of the modernization of the bank's network[2][3][1]
