History

Working group for Latvia’s long-term economic development program was established in January 1992. The purpose of this group was to explain economic reforms and to lay out implementation steps for these reforms. It was also deemed important to collect and codify the opinions of entrepreneurs, consumers, producers and politicians concerning the economic development of Latvia.

The authors of the Draft Economic Program: Model Latvia – 2010 aimed to establish an organization that would promote the economic ideas developed within this project.

Latvian Economists Association 2010 was founded in October 18, 1994. The main objectives of the organization are Latvias economic development for the long term and its integration in European and world institutions.

The organization unites professional economists, practitioners and theoreticians alike, who are responsible for the economic policy and economic reforms in Latvia.

Members of the association are former and present Ministers of Economy and Finance, Advisors to the President of Latvia and the Prime Minister of Latvia, as well as representatives of the Bank of Latvia, private investment funds, and state agencies.
