Vereniging van Economisten in Suriname

The Vereniging van Economisten in Suriname (VES), or Association of Economists in Suriname, is a professional association founded on 17 October 1972. It began as an informal initiative of approximately 33 economists from various disciplines who had been meeting for over a year without official status before formally constituting the association. Its mission is to promote the practice and application of economic science in Suriname. The VES provides a platform for ideas and debate, stimulates research and education, and cooperates with organizations both domestically and internationally. It organizes lectures, seminars, conferences, and other gatherings, including economic election debates. The association also publishes analyses and editions of its publication Inzicht. Membership is open to economists, future economists, policymakers, and other interested parties who wish to contribute to the country's economic development. The VES has been led by various chairs; Winston Ramautarsing succeeded Waddy Sowma as chairman on 30 March 2016. As of the official website, Steven Debipersad serves as Voorzitter (Chairman). The association remains active in discussing policy, stimulating research, and sharing knowledge, aiming to contribute to a stable, prosperous, and sustainable Suriname.
