In Australia, his Greek language became a valuable asset

The erudite and multilingual Petros Economou hails from Alexandria, Egypt, a city where Hellenism not only flourished, but also excelled. In 1964, he accepted his brother’s invitation to join him abroad, embarking on a journey to the foreign land of Australia. With an unwavering dedication to hard work, he built a career in Australian banks, where not only his diligence and commitment were recognised, but also his fluency in Greek, an invaluable skill that set him apart in a land filled with opportunities and challenges.
