There are a large number of holidays in Russia dedicated to various professions. Some have state status, but there are also those that are celebrated within the industry. One of them is the Day of the Economist. Representatives of the profession are already interested in when it will be celebrated in 2022.

History of appearance

On the territory of Russia, the holiday is officially approved, but employees working in the financial sector are not allowed to have a day off. If we talk about related countries, then, for example, in Belarus it is recognized as official, economists can rest one day more.

This date is celebrated by everyone whose activities are related to finance: both banking specialists and employees of public and private companies. Even students studying at the Faculty of Economics already consider this date as theirs.

The history of the appearance of the holiday goes back to 1917. At this time, the People's Commissariat of Finance was established, which in the era of the Soviet Union was renamed the Ministry of Finance. The industry employees had a day when they received congratulations on the Day of the Economist - June 30.

When economists celebrate the holiday

Economist Day has a fixed date: every year on June 30, everyone who is involved in this field of activity accepts congratulations from colleagues and loved ones. It cannot be called official, since the date is not included in the calendar of professional holidays in the country. Nevertheless, in large cities, ceremonial events are organized for representatives of the profession, at which they are awarded with certificates of honor, diplomas and cash gifts.

The holiday is also celebrated in educational institutions: the universities hold seminars, lectures and conferences dedicated to the celebration of the Day of the Economist.

Official celebration

In 2015, by order of the Ministry of Economic Development No. 876, the official Day of the Economist was established. With this document, it was postponed to November 11, so it will officially be celebrated only for the eighth time in 2022. The initiator of the establishment of the holiday was the Free Economic Society of Russia, and they proposed this very date of the holiday.

November 11, 1765 - the day of foundation of the society, which was previously called the Imperial Free Economic Society. In the 18th century, the organization was in good standing and immediately received the approval of Catherine II. They also had their own coat of arms, which depicted bees flying into the hive and carrying honey, and the motto of the Imperial Society was the word “useful”. Therefore, the date was not chosen by chance and has serious grounds.
