Last year, five students represented Kyrgyzstan at the final stage of the International Economics Olympiad, which took place in Ancient Olympia, Greece.

The competition brought together 147 students from 63 countries, who showcased their knowledge in economics, financial literacy, and analytical thinking.

The International Economics Olympiad allows students to apply what they have learned beyond the classroom, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and financial literacy.

Participating in the Olympiad also offers the chance to connect with peers from various countries and gain experience within an international academic community!

The Olympiad consists of 3 stages:

Start of online testing accessible from anywhere in Kyrgyzstan
End of online testing accessible from anywhere in Kyrgyzstan
Offline examination in Bishkek
August 2027: The winners of Stage II will fly to Greece to participate in the Olympiad final

The 5 winners of Stage II will fly to Greece to participate in the Olympiad final. 

Participation in the Olympiad is free of charge. Expenses for the trip to the final stage are covered by the organisers and MBank Junior (MJunior), the general partner of the national team of Kyrgyzstan.

We value the contribution of teachers! This year, 20 teachers will receive cash prizes for actively promoting the Olympiad, having the highest number of participants from their school, and helping prepare participants.

In 2026, 15 teachers received the award!

Financial literacy begins with practice

MJunior is a banking service from MBANK that helps turn financial knowledge into everyday habits: making mindful spending choices, planning purchases, and setting aside money for important goals.

Managing one’s own budget is an exercise in independent decision-making and responsibility. MJunior’s features help develop these skills, step by step.

Understanding your spending

Reviewing your balance and purchase history helps you see where your money goes, allowing for more thoughtful planning of future expenses.

Saving for your goals

The "Savings Box" feature lets you set aside money for a specific goal, helping you build the habit of saving rather than spending everything at once.

Connecting effort to results

Tasks with monetary rewards from parents help foster a sense of responsibility and teach you how to plan the use of the money you’ve earned.
