31 October, 2023

Continuing efforts to enhance financial education of students and youth, one of its main target segments, the National Bank of Georgia joins the World Savings Day campaign, which is part of the National Strategy of Financial Education.


Invite Finedu to class - already a quite popular project in the school community, will be featured again as part of this year's initiative, organized by the National Bank of Georgia and its educational platform Finedu, and enjoying the support of partner organizations.


Finedu ambassadors - employees of the National Bank of Georgia and its partner organizations, will be visiting schools to conduct financial education classes. Finedu ambassadors will be pleased to give open lessons to III-IX grade students from October 31 to November 17. Unlike the previous years, volunteer teachers will also be able to act as Finedu Ambassadors, hence making the campaign even more large-scale and interesting.


Interested teachers register on the Finedu website by filling out a special form. The number of applicants is steadily growing year by year - this time, up to 6,500 students of 300 classes are getting ready for the open lesson on saving. Students will be given educational materials after the lesson.


The scale of the project is largely due to the substantial financial, human and information support of the partner organizations of the National Strategy of Financial Education. The following organizations were involved in this year's campaign: German Sparkassenstiftung, Pasha Bank JSC (Re Bank), Basisbank JSC, Bank of Georgia JSC, Credo Bank JSC, Liberty Bank JSC, TBC Bank JSC, MBC microfinance institution, the Pension Agency, Caucasus International University, Iliauni University, Alte University, University of Georgia, Junior Achievement Georgia, Crystal microfinance institution.


The World Savings Day has almost a century-old history of celebration. It was founded in 1924 in Milan, Italy. The tradition of celebrating the World Savings Day in Georgia started in 2012. Since then, the financial sector has implemented a number of projects to mark the occasion. The Georgian character of Savings Day is Grovia the ant.
