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

Pupils and students from six districts and municipalities of Moldova will take part in online public lessons on how to make sense of money, delivered over the coming days by eight financial education ambassadors. The project is run by the National Bank of Moldova and the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”.

The ambassadors were chosen through a public competition and trained under the “Make Sense of Money” project. They come from Cahul, Chișinău, Cimișlia, Fălești, Hîncești and Rezina, and will tell current or former schoolmates about the financial system, inflation, loans and cashless payments. The first lesson takes place on 23 March at the Centre of Excellence in Energy and Electronics in Chișinău, led by Victor Grigoraș, an ASEM student. The week's series ends with Daniel Madan in Fălești.

The ambassadors stress that financial education means understanding how money works and making sound personal decisions. Ioan Negoița says each person manages their own budget and so contributes to society's financial balance. At the end, the ambassadors will receive diplomas from the National Bank of Moldova and Expert-Grup. The project was launched in March 2019 to improve young people's understanding of key financial concepts and products.
