University hosted an international conference on the topic "Modern Trends in Education: Foreign Languages and International Economics"

In the context of the globalization of the economy, knowledge of foreign languages ​​becomes an important information product that helps to objectively assess the situation on the world market and develop strategies to improve the efficiency of enterprises. For an economist, a foreign language opens the way to the most modern areas of practical economics. Experts say that it is impossible to become an economist without knowledge of a foreign language, because most of the concepts of economics have been developed in foreign countries.
