| Stephen KoukoulasEconomic Thought Leader l Former Chief Economist l Former Senior Economic Advisor to the Australian Prime Minister Stephen Koukoulas is Managing Director of Market Economics, having had 30 years as an economist in government, banking, financial markets and policy formulation. Stephen was an Economic Advisor to Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, worked in the Commonwealth Treasury and was the global head of economic research and strategy for TD Securities in London. Stephen also spent 5 years at Citibank Australia and started his career in the Commonwealth Treasury in the mid 1980s. Stephen presents his views without fear or favour and does not have the baggage of many economists working for the big banks and other organisations. This sometimes gets him into trouble with the Reserve Bank, Treasury and the politicians. |
