Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.
The “Financial Education for All” camp, organised by the National Bank of Moldova and the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”, brought together young people from several Moldovan towns to learn about key financial concepts. Participants received certificates of participation at the end of the camp.
Participants studied the structure of the financial system, inflation and the role of the central bank, taxes, responsible borrowing, consumer protection, cashless economy, insurance, personal financial planning, savings, investment, business plans and financing options for young people. Instructors were experts from Expert-Grup, the National Bank of Moldova and the National Financial Market Commission. The young people also took part in intellectual games and debates.
Pupils from Bălți, Ungheni, Nisporeni and Soroca said the camp helped them think critically, budget, manage expenses and feel ready for financial decisions. Ariana Axente noted she was selected from almost 500 young people. The camp was part of the National Financial Education Campaign, implemented by the National Bank of Moldova and Expert-Grup, with support from the USAID project MISRA Moldova PRO Reforme.
