The National Bank of Moldova (NBM) held a financial education lesson today for students in grades X–XII at the “Lucian Blaga” Theoretical High School in Tiraspol. The topic of discussion—inflation and financial stability—was presented in an interactive way, tailored to the curiosity and knowledge level of young people.
The event, held online, is the first financial education activity organised by the NBM for students in Tiraspol and is part of a series of initiatives dedicated to World Savings Day, celebrated annually on 31 October.
At the opening of the session, NBM Governor Anca Dragu delivered a motivational message to the high school students, emphasising the importance of financial education in shaping a young generation capable of understanding and responding effectively to economic developments:
"It is important to navigate the economic environment with ease because all these concepts are present in our daily lives. Today, inflation and financial stability are not just theoretical concepts, but realities that are felt in every personal financial decision. I encourage you to view financial education as an investment in yourselves, one that helps you make wiser, safer, and more responsible decisions," said Ms. Anca Dragu.
In his presentation, Natan Garștea, Director of the Financial Stability Department at the NBM, explained the role of the central bank and its objectives.
The students learned about inflation, its causes and effects on the economy, as well as what measures the National Bank is taking to maintain price stability. The workshop provided concrete examples of the monetary policy promoted by the central bank in this regard.
The students actively participated and asked questions about saving and the role of banks, discovering many interesting and useful things for consumers who want to be informed in order to make smart financial decisions.
The initiative is part of the National Bank of Moldova's financial education program, which aims to develop the economic culture of younger generations and contribute to building a modern, stable, and sustainable economy.
