During the same period, the NBM experts will give lectures in colleges and universities on various financial-banking topics, such as: financial stability; cashless payment instruments; exchange rate; things to consider before taking a loan; official reserve assets, etc. Presentations will be made on the basis of requests coming from universities of the Republic of Moldova.
A financial education project to be implemented by the National Bank of Moldova in partnership with the Independent Analytical Centre "Expert-Grup" will be launched on 29 March 2019. The event will take place at "Tekwill" ICT Centre of the Republic of Moldova. Two discussion panels will be organized during the event: financial education among young people and the role of ICT in transforming the financial system.
“Financial products are constantly developing and becoming more and more complex. That's why we need to make them more accessible to the public, in order to have a well-informed society, so that people make the right decisions in managing their income”, said Octavian Armasu, the NBM Governor.
The National Bank of Moldova joins the Global Money Week in order to inform the public about the role, attributions and the main functions of a financial-banking institution and to explain the core principles of economics.
