Welcome to the Asian Economics Olympiad 2026
The Asian Economics Olympiad 2026 has been organized this summer. We aimed to stimulate creative problem-solving among high school students (grades 9–12) interested in Economics, Business, and Finance across Asia. The competition format emphasizes teamwork, analytical reasoning, and applied economics rather than rote memorization.
In 2025, the Olympiad brought together over 400 teams, each consisting of 3–5 students, representing more than 20 countries. In 2026, it also brought more than 300 teams from 24 countries.
