The interest in financial education has increased a lot among children, young people and grownups, including older persons. The people are eager to enrich their financial knowledge and culture. That’s why the Romanian financial education project “Generation I” has supporters in Moldova too, the governor of the National Bank of Moldova Octavian Armașu stated in a roundtable meeting entitled “We choose financial independence at any age”, IPN reports.

Octavian Armașu noted that the digitization, innovation and everything that can contribute to the modernization of society, markets and ways of life are the central bank’s priority. The payments infrastructure in Moldova is being developed and this will enable to introduce new payment instruments. “We want to offer the people all the necessary information so that they take argued and correct financial decisions and ultimately have a better quality of life,” said the governor of the National Bank of Moldova, being quoted in a press release.

According to Octavian Armașu, the National Bank of Moldova during several years has helped different groups of persons – from kindergarten children to pensioners – to realize the sense of money and how responsible decisions are taken through a number of projects. The young people can take part in financial education campaigns, while the children can take part in the event “In the World of Bănuț”. Different activities are staged for teenagers as part of the project “Give Sense to Money”.

The project “Generation I” was launched in Moldova last year in connection with World Savings Day that is celebrated on October 31. The project was implemented successfully in Romania, being initiated and promoted by the Association CFA Romania (Chartered Financial Analyst Romania) and being designed for all those who want to create a long-term view for ensuring their financial independence.
