"Financial Education Camp" – an initiative connecting young people across Moldova

Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

The Financial Education Camp, a joint initiative of the National Bank of Moldova and Independent Think Tank Expert-Grup, is open for registration in an online edition for young people across Moldova. Sign-up is free and runs until 27 July 2025.

The programme has four 90-minute sessions in Romanian on the ZOOM platform, covering how the financial system works, the benefits of Moldova joining SEPA, steps to start a business and trends in innovative payments. Participants attending all sessions receive certificates, and connection details are sent by e-mail after registering through an online form.

Governor Anca Dragu said the online format aims to reach every young person, whether from large cities or remote villages, since financial education should be a right rather than a privilege. Adrian Lupușor said it underpins individual wellbeing and the economy by enabling better-informed decisions, from insurance to loans and investments. The camp began in 2020 under the "Dă sens banilor" project.
