Our mission

The Asian Economics Olympiad is designed to promote economic literacy, critical thinking, and international collaboration among high school students (grades 9–12) in Asia. Organized by the Kazakh Network of Economic Thinkers (KNET), the Olympiad tests participants’ knowledge of micro-/macro-economics, financial literacy, and their ability to solve real-world business cases under time pressure.

In 2024, the Olympiad was held online from October 26th to November 9th, with over 1,800 students participating from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and other Asian countries.

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.
