🌍 From Olympia to the World: Celebrating the 2025 Economics Olympiad Champions
The 2025 International Final Round (IFR) of the Economics Olympiad (EO) concluded in unforgettable fashion at the International Olympic Academy in Olympia, Greece.
This year brought together 130 of the brightest high school minds from 28 countries, uniting in a global celebration of economics, culture, and international friendship.
We are thrilled to congratulate this year’s outstanding champions:
🏆 Batyrkhan Mukhtarkhan – Kazakhstan
🏆 Marufbek Kholmuminov – Uzbekistan
🏆 Ishaan Ashwin – Netherlands
🏆 Alex Hatzopoulos – Greece
🏆 Markiian Mazur – Ukraine
For many of these students, their journey into economics began with Common Sense Economics: What Everyone Should Know About Wealth and Prosperity. It is inspiring to see how these foundational ideas helped shape their understanding and prepared them for success on the global stage. Through the Economic Fundamentals Initiative (EFI) and its supporters, Common Sense Economics has been translated into 11 languages in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Translation efforts in Spanish and Portuguese - Brazilian are underway.
The EO embodies the best of what education should be: rigorous learning, international collaboration, and the pursuit of prosperity and opportunity for all. Congratulations to the students, their teachers, and the partner organizations who made this year’s competition an unforgettable success!
