Historic Milestone: First Sitting Federal Reserve Board Governor Visits Greece
Athens – Wednesday, January 14, 2026
US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle welcomed Dr. Stephen Miran, a sitting member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, on his official visit to Greece—marking the first time in history that an active Fed Governor has made such a trip.
In a post on X, Ambassador Guilfoyle wrote:
"I'm delighted to welcome to Greece my friend Dr. Stephen Miran, a leading voice on America's monetary policy and financial system. This marks the first time a sitting member of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors has come to Greece for an official visit – a milestone for our economic ties and financial engagement!"
The visit underscores deepening US-Greece economic relations and highlights growing bilateral cooperation on monetary policy, financial stability, and transatlantic economic issues amid global uncertainties.
Dr. Miran, nominated by President Trump and confirmed to the Fed Board, is recognized for his expertise in macroeconomic policy, fiscal-monetary interactions, and financial markets. His presence in Athens signals heightened US interest in strengthening ties with Greece, a key NATO ally and strategic partner in the Eastern Mediterranean.
This landmark engagement comes as Greece continues to position itself as a stable hub for investment, energy, and regional finance in Southeast Europe.
