Skopje, 19 November 2020
The National Bank intensifies the activities for cooperation with the civil sector in the field of financial education. For the first time, the National Bank will hold a training for trainers, who will be engaged to educate the population on issues in the domain of finance that affect all citizens as active participants in the financial flows. This is expected to expand the network of financial education in our country and strengthen the effects of the dissemination of the knowledge from this area. This would contribute to greater financial inclusion and making sound financial decisions by the population.
For this purpose, the National Bank concluded a Memorandum of Cooperation with the citizens’ association for encouraging social development “Global Shapers Skopje Hub”, which is part of the international network “Global Shapers”. Following the interest expressed by “Global Shapers Skopje Hub” through organization of events - lectures, i.e. presentations and open discussions, to make a contribution to financial education of the general public, especially of the young population in the country, the Memorandum provides for the team of the National Bank to provide expert assistance, through a training for the members of the association who will conduct the activities. The National Bank will also provide educational materials in the field of financial education. It is planned the lectures of "Global Shapers Skopje Hub" intended for the general public, especially for the young population, to be held by the middle of the next year, on a voluntary basis.
The development of the cooperation between the financial regulators and civil organizations in the field of financial education is extremely important for achieving even more visible results with greater availability of the knowledge to most of the population. This year, the National Bank also started cooperation with other civil organizations that expressed their readiness and desire to get involved in the implementation of activities for promoting financial literacy and encouraging financial inclusion.
