Abstract
<jats:p>In the modern era dominated by the information space, the exchange of information is one of the key indicators of a specialist’s professional competence. Business speech is one of the main components of a professional business image. Today, students of economics must possess skills in oral business communication and business correspondence. For an economist, the ability to speak correctly and clearly is essential, since this profession is based on working with clients and conducting negotiations with government officials. This field of activity requires the ability to analyze large volumes of economic and legal documents and to convey their core content to the client in a clear and accessible manner. Therefore, during the educational process, an economics student must develop specific communicative skills and be familiar with the requirements for the structure and content of business correspondence.</jats:p>
