Hristijan Andovski from Veles won second place at this year's greatest European competition in financial education
Skopje, 26 June 2020
At the greatest European competition in the field of financial education, our country recorded a great success for the second consecutive time. The European Banking Federation (EBF) has announced the winners of this year's Final of the European Money Quiz among which Hristijan Andovski from Kole Nedelkovski High School in Veles as the European vice champion. The first place was won by a representative of Spain, while the third place was taken by representatives of the Czech Republic.
Last year, when our country participated for the first time in the European Money Quiz, Viktorija Panova and Marko Ingilizov from the Koco Racin High School from Veles were European vice champions, who also won the national competition. This year’s consecutive success at the European level by the young man from Veles, Andovski, once again confirms that the intensive investment of young people in financial education has already been giving visible results, both through their commitment to gaining knowledge in finance and raising the level of financial literacy. An additional indicator is that this year, the representatives of our country were the most numerous in the Grand Final of the European Money Quiz.
Andovski has also used the opportunity, given this year by the EBF due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, for online participation in the Grand Final of the European Money Quiz of all interested parties including students who have not previously participated in national competitions. He won second place in Europe among competitors from 28 countries. The EBF data show that this year, the number of participants in the European Money Quiz through the online platform Kahoot! is significantly higher than last year.
The participation of our country in the European Money Quiz has been organized by the Macedonian Banking Association (MBA) in cooperation with the National Bank and the Securities and Exchange Commission, with the support of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education and Science. Other joint activities in the field of financial education are planned for the upcoming period, adjusted to the circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic.
