International Economics Olympiad: IP-Friendly Parent & Student Guide

Q: What does International Economics Olympiad: IP-Friendly Parent & Student Guide cover?
A: What the IEO is, how its 40-30-30 scoring works, why calculus-savvy IP students excel, and how Singapore teams have fared since their 2022 debut.

TL;DR
The International Economics Olympiad (IEO) is the top global contest in economics, financial literacy and business for 15-19 year-olds.
Teams of up to five students face three rounds - Economics (40 percent), Financial Literacy (30 percent) and a Business Case (30 percent) - with medals capped at 8 percent gold, 16 percent silver, 24 percent bronze.
Singapore entered in 2022, bagged medals in 2023, and runs its national qualifier each Term 1 on an in-house platform.

Keep the calculus and modelling muscle warm via our IP Maths tuition hub; those vector, optimisation, and regression drills line up perfectly with the IEO’s scoring rubric.

Registration quick answer (Singapore): Students don’t apply directly to IEO. Countries send national teams selected via a local competition; check the official IEO site for the current structure and contact links: https://ieo-official.org/

1 What exactly is the IEO?

• Global scope. Founded in 2018 (Moscow), the Olympiad has since rotated through Russia, Kazakhstan (online host), Latvia (online), China (online), Greece and Hong Kong.
• Legal status. IEO is registered as a non-profit association in Latvia and governed by published statutes.
• Focus areas. Economics theory, personal finance grounded in the OECD PISA framework, and a live business-strategy case.
