Economics Explorer Competition stands as an impactful online national competition designed for primary, secondary school and pre-university students. Its main goal is to challenge participants in areas such as economics, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and business.

Economics Explorer Competition program in Malaysia comprises four stages;

1. Malaysian Economics Olympiad (MyEO)
2. National Selection Camp
3. National Training Camp
4. International Economics Olympiad (IEO)

Malaysian Economics Olympiad (MyEO) represents a significant opportunity for Malaysian students to delve into various aspects of economics, including macroeconomics, finance, microeconomics, entrepreneurship, and investment.

Each school is required to appoint at least one Teacher-In-Charge (TIC) responsible for handling registration, payment, and overseeing the competition day. The designated teacher must have a ContestHub account to ensure our secretary is informed that you are the TIC representing your school. To be officially recognized as the TIC, please reach out to our customer support team using the phone number provided in FAQs 16.
