🇨🇬“When I return home, I want to open a business in the banking sector” Mupegnu Nzussi Kevin Gras, RUDN postgraduate student from the Republic of the Congo

👨‍🎓Mupegnu Nzussi Kevin Gras, a postgraduate student at RUDN Faculty of Economics, tells about corruption research, his favorite park in Moscow and the main skills of an economist.

😀Remember your first day in Moscow, what was it like?
⚡️ I arrived in Moscow at the beginning of January. As I remember now — Sheremetyevo airport, frost and lots of snow. Before studying in Russia, I studied mechanical engineering, then oil and gas engineering at the Arab University of Sciences in Tunisia. Afterwards, I came to Moscow to do oil and gas and management studies at RUDN University.

😀Why Russia?
⚡️ This country is connected with the history of my continent. And the name of RUDN University has the name of one of the most famous African politicians — Patrice Lumumba.

😀After oil and gas, you entered postgraduate school in economics. What skills should a good economist have?
⚡️ A good specialist not only understands economic theories but:
⏺ Is not afraid of new things. You need to be able to work at the intersection of sciences, employing and creating new interdisciplinary approaches. The answer never lies on the surface—you have to dig hard.
⏺ Is able to work with big data. To trace patterns, you need to highlight them. To do this, you need to develop your analytical skills.
⏺ Is financially savvy. To regulate large cash flows, you need to start with yourself. If people cannot manage their money, what can we say about multimillion-dollar sums.
