Economist Day in Russia is considered very young, but with ancient historical roots, but many do not know what date this holiday is celebrated in 2019. At the same time, Economist Day is a memorable date officially approved by the Ministry of Economic Development, even though this day does not fall on a day off. All employees of financial departments congratulate each other, give gifts, and also accept presents from relatives.
Economists are everywhere, but their work is sometimes not noticed
history of the holiday
This is one of the youngest Russian holidays. The tradition of honoring economists dates back to 1917. Then the People's Commissariat of Finance was created, later renamed the Ministry of Finance of the USSR. For many years in Soviet times, these specialists accepted congratulations on June 30th. The custom has survived to this day. However, by his decree, Russian President D. Medvedev decided to set the official date of the celebrations on September 8. It has symbolic meaning. On this day in 1802, Emperor Alexander I issued the Highest Manifesto, establishing the Ministry of Finance.
Who celebrates
The heroes of the occasion on Economist Day are considered to be everyone who is directly or indirectly involved in financial processes, without which not a single modern company, public organization, or government structure can exist. Employees of banking institutions, economic departments within various forms of business ownership, teachers and students of relevant specialties annually celebrate their professional holiday. Honoring each other's merits, assessing the achievement of results and indicators, and rewarding the best are the main reasons for organizing special events on June 30 as part of the internal corporate culture in many Russian companies.

The only way is forward
Economists are well prepared to work with large data sets. This is a new field of analysis for identifying patterns. Ultimately, economists help organizations or governments make more informed decisions. This may be relevant, for example, in relation to viewing trends in financial markets, in terms of a complex economic problem. Economists can identify risks and develop financial regulations to meet the needs of the new market. As they say, demand creates supply. And such a holiday as Economist Day will be celebrated again and again.
The event will be attended by the best minds of economic science, scientists, academicians, representatives of the educational community and youth organizations, as well as government and public figures.
Celebrating Economist's Day will allow us to celebrate honored figures of the profession and encourage young talents, will help in the formation of professional responsibility and ethics, in the development of new competencies of the profession, as well as the preservation of existing traditions.

“The All-Russian Economic Meeting is timed to coincide with the celebration of Economist Day and will take place on November 11, 2021,” says Margarita Ratnikova, vice president and director of the VEO of Russia. — The date was not chosen by chance. It was on this day, two and a half centuries ago, that the first public organization was established, designed to intensify the economic development of the state - the Imperial Free Economic Society. The goals and objectives that were defined by the Society several centuries ago are still relevant today. First of all, this is an expert assessment of the current economic situation in the country, a search for possible ways to modernize the domestic economy, as well as educational and educational activities. The main theme of the All-Russian Economic Meeting will be devoted to assessing the historical path of Russia. This year we are celebrating the centenary of the October Revolution, but there is still no single assessment of past events. This topic still excites society, causing fierce debate and disagreement. In such conditions, it is impossible to reach a consensus in assessing the past, and without this it is impossible to give an objective assessment of the present and future. That is why experts of the All-Russian Economic Assembly will direct their efforts to finally reconcile society on this issue.”
The organizer of the All-Russian Economic Assembly is the Free Economic Society of Russia with the support of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
The Meeting will also include a plenary session at which experts will discuss the prospects for economic growth in Russia, ways to create an effective model for the sustainable development of the national economy and other topical issues. It is planned that more than 1,500 people will take part in the event. The cross-cutting theme of the plenary session will be the motto: “Economists for Russia!”, the meaning of which is to develop a new model for the development of our state by the economic community.
The final and ceremonial part of the All-Russian Economic Meeting will be the awarding of the “Economist of the Year” prize to outstanding figures in the domestic economy.
