Foreign Service Economic Officers build and maintain positive economic and trade relations between the U.S. and other countries. While having an economics background is useful, it’s not required. They focus on developing relationships with important economic figures, including those in the business community, the government and opposition, non-governmental organizations, academia, and multilateral organizations. They promote U.S. economic and commercial interests. Their reporting and analysis of economic conditions and trends in the host country influence U.S. policy formulation and implementation.
Economic Officers receive extensive in-house training in economics, trade, commercial diplomacy, energy, and environmental issues. They influence and implement economic and trade policies as they help unravel the complexities of a global economy.
Join us for a panel discussion with Economic Officers as they help you explore the world of diplomacy and international operations. Will you be the next Foreign Service Economic Officer? Explore this exciting career path with us! All backgrounds are welcome!
