The Department of National Economy and Public Administration (NEPA) has been operating in its modern form since 2009, but it has a very rich history and scientific and pedagogical traditions, laid down since the founding of the Institute of National Economy (INE; 1933).

A significant contribution to the further development of the Scientific and Pedagogical School on National Economy was made by Doctor of Economics, Professor V.N.

The Department of National Economy and Public Administration is the main structural subdivision of the Belarusian State Economic University, based on which the Scientific and Pedagogical School on National Economy has been developing for the last decades. The department of NEPA is the direct successor of the Department of Regional Management, which, in turn, was created in 1994 based on the merger of the Department of National Economic Planning (founded in 1964, and before that it was named the Department of National Economic Planning since the early 1930s) and the Department of Placement of Productive Forces (at the first stage - the Department of Economic Geography, founded in 1953).

At different times, the heads of the department were Borisevich V.I. – Doctor of Economics, Professor; Dorina E.B. - Doctor of Economics, Professor. In the period from 2004 to 2011, as well as from September 2021 to the present, Doctor of Economics, Professor Fateev V.S. heads the department.
