The University of National and World Economy ( _bg. Университет за национално и световно стопанство) is a school of economics in Sofia, Bulgaria.

History

University of National and World Economy (UNWE) is one of the biggest and oldest higher educational institutions of economics in the Republic of Bulgaria and South Eastern Europe with a history of over 80 years.

UNWE originated from the Free University of Political and Economic Sciences (FUPES), founded with Ordinance N 2155/05.07.1920 of the Minister of Public Education. FUPES was transformed into the State Higher Education School of Finance and Administrative Sciences (SHESFA) with a legislative act of 1940/7.06.1940 and in 1947 SHESFA was transformed into a Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences at Sofia University.

The autonomy of the higher school was regained with Decree N 26/1.02.1952 under the name Higher Institute of Economics (HIE). In 1953 it was named Karl Marx with Decree N 89/20.03.1953.

On 27.04.1990 the Academic Board (AB) passed a resolution transforming Karl Marx Higher Institute of Economics into University of National and World Economy. Officially this was done with an act of the National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria on the establishment and transformation of higher educational institutions (26 July 1995).

The current rector of the university is prof. Borislav Borisov, elected as such in 2003.
