Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov signed a decree appointing Bayram Tangryberdiev as Rector of the Turkmen State Institute of Economics and Management. This was reported by the "Watan" news program on Turkmen television.

The university's former head, Aknabat Atabaeva, has been relieved of her post due to a transfer to another position. Tangryberdiev previously headed the Turkmen State Institute of Finance.
