More than 50 young people were selected through a rigorous competition from nearly 500 applicants who expressed interest in attending the „Financial Education for All” camp, organized by the National Bank of Moldova (NBM) in partnership with the Independent Think-Tank „Expert-Grup”.
Participants from across the Republic of Moldova gathered today in Vadul lui Voda, where, for three days, they will learn new and essential skills to navigate the financial world.
From the very first moments, the camp fostered an atmosphere of friendship, open communication, and a keen interest in learning.
At the beginning of the event, the Governor of the National Bank of Moldova, Anca Dragu, remarked that the camp represents a concept of interactive training and adaptation to the ongoing changes in the financial environment and its developments.
„Investment in the financial education of our young people is essential for developing a stable and prosperous economy. Through this camp, we aim to provide participants with the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate the complex world of finance with confidence. Cultivating financial responsibility from an early age is vital to ensuring a secure and prosperous future for all”, emphasized Anca Dragu.
At the summer camp, participants will explore the world of finance and learn what it means to be responsible and independent in making financial decisions, how to save and invest efficiently, the role of the central bank and its influence on our country’s economy, inflation, and taxes and duties.
The planned training sessions and hands-on activities will provide them with a new experience of learning and understanding the tools for managing personal budgets. In this way, camp participants will be encouraged in their endeavour to learn financial basics to gain confidence and autonomy in managing money and making informed financial decisions.
The summer camp is in its first edition and is organized within the framework of the National Campaign „Financial Education for All”, carried out with the support of the USAID Moldova project “Moldova Institutional and Structural Reforms Activity” (MISRA).
