But this department was later divided into two separate structures - the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economy, which became full-fledged financial units.

The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation is considered the oldest stateThe organization that celebrated its 200th anniversary back in 2002. Today, the department solves the most difficult economic problems, including the development of the domestic budget system, as well as the implementation of a unified financial, tax and budget policy. Many universities of the Russian Federation train specialists in these areas, and their educational programs are guided by the current needs of economic structures in the replenishment of the staff with highly qualified personnel.

What should be given on the Day of the Economist? Many argue that for the employees of the economic sphere the ideal gift is money, but it is simply inappropriate to give banknotes in envelopes to colleagues on a professional holiday.

You can make for yourself funny cards,just printing out on economic paper or special photo paper an economic chart or a color chart showing the company's financial performance in the form of certain indicators that only the economist-financier can read. Under the postcard graphics, it is desirable to write a brief but significant inscription, for example, "The risk of default is approaching zero", "I wish you to learn how to predict the market", "Make the impossible possible".

However, in the accounting or economic departmentit's impossible to celebrate a professional date fully, therefore, after congratulations in words and handing out funny postcards after the end of the working day, it's best to go to a cafe or a club. It's enough just to book a table, which will be well-suited for several employees working in one department, so that they can remember the most curious cases in the work of a modern economist.
