Silver medal at International Economics Olympiad

The host country was Latvia. The New Zealand team competed in three different sections. The first section was a financial simulation game, in which individuals were given real-life scenarios and investment tools in order to plan, invest, and achieve the set targets. The team also competed in a four-hour economics exam. The final section of the Olympiad consisted of a team business case study.

Forty-four countries competed, and a total of 215 students took part in the competition. Tony Su was awarded a silver medal. Overall, the New Zealand team achieved three silver and two bronze medals.

Many thanks to Mrs Ladkoo, for her continued guidance and support, as well as Mr Jacob Samuel of King’s College who is the New Zealand International Economics Olympiad team leader.
