The 2025 Young Economist of the Year competition was held by Discover Economics, sponsored by KPMG and the Financial Times.
The Young Economics of the Year Competition is our annual student-based competition, to encourage students to think about current economic issues and promote the study of economic science.
The competition aims at encouraging Year 10 – Year 13 students (in England and Wales, or equivalent in Scotland and Northern Ireland) to produce their own ideas in analysing contemporary economic problems facing the UK and the world.



Our annual lecture provides an opportunity for school students to watch internationally-renowned economists present their research.

We support the work of the Economics Network which provides resources for students and universities.
