In the period of 17 -23 March 2025, pupils and students of all ages from the Republic of Moldova will have the opportunity to take part in the Global Money Week alongside the National Bank of Moldova, which has prepared many interesting and useful activities for exploring the financial world.
"A financially educated younger generation understands that financial literacy leads to a future with more responsible decisions about savings, investments and loans. What is a financial market, who are the key players, what is their role, and what benefits can they offer to citizens? These are just some of the questions, the answers to which bring positive changes in everyone's personal perspective", said Anca Dragu, Governor of the National Bank.
The financial education event planned by the NBM will be structured into sessions, training workshops and seminars on various topics. Participants will engage with mentors to discuss monetary policy decisions, the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), how to use a card to make secure online payments, the euro as a reference currency, and many other current topics, important for a young consumer who wants to learn how to make wise financial decisions.
One of the most eagerly awaited moments of the event is the launch of a women's leadership project, which will foster an open dialogue with top international figures. This initiative aims to inspire and support the development of a new generation of financially educated, confident women who are ready to become leaders in the business and financial sectors.
As in previous editions, visits to the NBM exhibition hall will be organized. The highlight of the event will be the historical press, offered by the State Mint of Romania to be exhibited at the NBM Museum.
Participation in the event will be possible through prior registration. Groups of up to 35 people aged 9 and above will be formed. Students will be accompanied by a designated person who will be responsible for the safety of minors during the tour or workshop. Applications can be submitted until 14 March 2024 to edufin@bnm.md.
Global Money Week is an international initiative launched 13 years ago, with 176 countries participating so far. It raises awareness of the importance of financial education in cultivating well-founded financial attitudes and skills necessary to make informed everyday financial decisions.
