The Economic Definitions Index (EDI) is a comprehensive and easy-to-use guide designed to simplify the understanding of complex economic terminology and concepts. The latest, 3rd edition features 164 definitions, organized into 10 thematic sections, providing an accessible tool for anyone seeking to deepen their knowledge of the world of economics.

A Brief Historical Overview
The first edition of the EDI, published in 2021, included 69 terms and marked an important step towards strengthening financial literacy. The second edition expanded the content to 138 terms across 9 thematic sections. This new, third edition represents the most significant upgrade to date. With the addition of new terms and a restructuring of the thematic categories, the Index has evolved into a dynamic resource that responds to the current needs of the economic environment.

Purpose and Mission
Our primary objective is to promote financial literacy. Through the EDI, we aim to help young people aged 18–23, as well as professionals, to understand and correctly use the economic terms as well as concepts they encounter in their daily lives. The EDI has been developed as a reliable resource for acquiring meaningful knowledge, enabling readers to make informed decisions and actively participate in economic life.
