Annotation: In the context of rapid globalization and increasing economic interdependence, the development of global professional competence has become a central objective of modern economics education. Contemporary economists are expected not only to possess strong analytical and theoretical knowledge, but also to operate effectively in international and multicultural environments. This article examines the role of foreign languages as a strategic tool in fostering global professional competence among economics students. It argues that foreign language proficiency enhances access to international academic resources, facilitates cross-border communication, strengthens participation in global economic institutions, and expands career mobility. Moreover, language learning contributes to the development of critical thinking, intercultural awareness, and professional adaptability. The study highlights the importance of integrating foreign language instruction into economics curricula to ensure the preparation of competitive and globally oriented specialists. Ultimately, foreign languages are not merely supplementary skills but essential components of professional training in economics education.
