The NBM will hold a number of events on financial education as part of the international campaign Global Money Week from March 18 to 24.
According to the National Bank, they are addressed to everyone who wants to develop their financial culture, especially children and youth, in order to better learn financial and banking concepts, as well as how to properly manage a personal budget. Thus, the National Bank, in partnership with the Independent Analytical Center Expert-Grup and the National Museum of History of Moldova, organizes master classes, exhibitions of coins from different times and public lectures on financial education of the population throughout the country. President of the National Bank of Moldova Anca Dragu noted that financial education is about providing people with the skills necessary to improve their well-being and contribute to the development of the country’s economy. This education begins at an early age. Children and youth must be prepared for the future. “In this sense, we want, as the central bank, which is the national coordinator of the financial education process, to convey to the younger generation information that will form a solid basis for them, so that in the future they can assess the economic situation and make the right financial decisions,” she emphasized. In particular, events within the framework of Global Money Week will include a visit to the NBM exhibition hall, with the opportunity to listen to a brief history of the national currency and admire the collection of commemorative and anniversary gold and silver coins. Access will be available from Monday to Friday (March 18-22). Also, from March 18 to 24, the National Museum of History of Moldova will organize interactive master classes on financial topics. It will also be possible to get acquainted with the collection of ancient coins. Global Money Week is an international initiative launched 12 years ago and joined by 176 countries. It promotes awareness of the importance of financial education in developing sound financial attitudes and the skills needed to make everyday financial decisions. // 18.03.2024 — InfoMarket.
