The Department of World Economy was established in 2010 on the material, technical, and personnel basis of the Departments of International Business, Customs Payments, and Currency Control as a structural unit of the Faculty of International Economic Relations at the Tajik Institute of Economics. The need to establish the department is related to the demand for training specialists in international business for companies and associations, commercial banks, investment and pension funds, as well as other enterprises and commercial organizations.
