The Saint Petersburg University of Economics (UNECON, SPbSUE, Saint Petersburg State University of Economics; Russian: СПбГЭУ, Санкт-Петербургский государственный экономический университет) is a public university located in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was formed in 2012 by merging Saint Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance, Saint Petersburg State University of Engineering and Economics, and Saint Petersburg State University of Service and Economics. The university consists of 7 faculties, 45 departments, has 1 branch and includes the College of Business and Technology.
In 1769, during the reign of Catherine the Great, the Russian Assignation Bank was founded in St. Petersburg to issue and exchange banknotes in the denomination of 25, 50, 75 and 100 rubles. These notes, known as Assignation rubles, were based on the copper money then circulating in the country. In 1786, the Moscow and St. Petersburg branches merged to form the "Imperial Assignation Bank", which was allowed to perform currency exchange operations with foreign states. In 1799–1805, the buildings of the bank also housed the Saint Petersburg Mint, which produced coinage. By 1817 the bank had issued banknotes worth 836 million rubles, and the value of these Assignation rubles declined considerably. In 1843, Assignation ruble notes were withdrawn from circulation, and replaced by the state credit notes (Russian: государственные кредитные билеты). In 1930 the building of the former Assignation Bank was granted to Leningrad Institute of Finance and Economics, the forerunner of Saint Petersburg University of Economics.

  • Very nice university. Pay for study - and no need to attend the classes, though mostly they are delayed or postponed. A lot of time left to enjoy the city and explore the country. Fun!
