FCDO Next Generation Economics competition 2022 winner announced

Student Tasha Vagadia has been named the winner of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Next Generation Economics 2022 competition.

Two competition runners up have also been announced: Misha Sinev and Blake Merriman.

During the summer, Tasha, Misha and Blake will visit the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office in King Charles Street, London. They will meet Professor Adnan Khan, FCDO Chief Economist, to discuss their ideas and learn more about being an economist in government.

The competition invited UK students to write a letter to the FCDO Chief Economist on the biggest economic challenges facing their generation, including:

• what economic policies should governments around the world use to economically empower women and girls?
• what economic policies should the UK government use to facilitate a fair transition away from fossil fuels globally?

We will update this page with further details about the winning students and their visit to FCDO.
