The National Bank of Moldova (NBM), on the occasion of the World Savings Day, carried out financial education activities for pupils and students
According to the NBM, in particular, on the World Savings Day, celebrated on October 31, the National Bank, following the traditions of the last years, opened its doors to students and pupils interested in finance. Thus, everyone was able to learn information related to financial education in a friendly and interactive atmosphere. The events were synchronized with the press club held at the Expert-Grup Independent Thin Tank on the topic “Financial products: what savings and investment opportunities exist on the financial market of Moldova”. The event took place within the National Campaign of Financial Education, organized by the National Bank of Moldova in partnership with Expert-Grup. Natan Garştea, Director of the Financial Stability Department of the National Bank of Moldova, participated in the press club, giving details about the ways of saving. At the end of the meeting, he noted that the money stored in banks is completely safe. Now there is a Deposit Guarantee Fund, so people can be sure that their money is safe. Another important aspect is the period for which each person places a deposit: it varies depending on the budgetary needs of each person. Of course, an equally important factor is the interest rate, which also varies from bank to bank depending on the period of time the funds are deposited. The events emphasized the importance of financial education for citizens of all ages and, in particular, for children and young people, who form a generation with dynamic adaptation to changes in the financial environment. The National Bank of Moldova diversifies financial education activities, offering citizens sources of knowledge about financial instruments and understanding their advantages and the financial market. Thus, the NBM encourages the public to deepen their financial knowledge, so that they can actively participate, making informed decisions to improve the well-being of the family, of the whole society. // 04.11.2024 - InfoMarket
