27/03/2017

Celebration of the GMW under the motto "Learn, save, earn" began today by the visit of students of the high school "Slobodan Škerović" to the Central Bank of Montenegro.

Governor of the Central Bank of Montenegro, Radoje Žugić, in his welcome speech to high school students, said that this institution has developed a number of activities within the framework of the GMW and the same included a large number of children and young people, with the aim of financial education, which is especially important in terms of the increasing sophistication of financial market, which, day after day, is offering new products and services. Through the initiation and implementation of these educational and socially responsible activities, Central Bank supports financial education, and strengthens financial literacy, which is a prerequisite for responsible money management.


"Money is a valuable resource which is not easy to get, and therefore must not be understood and perceived easily. Our goal is to provide you, through this and other similar activities, with this fact and motivate you to develop habits of saving and responsibly and skilfully manage personal budgets, which today represents an allowance or, perhaps, scholarship, and already tomorrow honestly earned wage and other income"- said the governor Žugić.

After the welcoming speech of the Governor, students of high school "Slobodan Škerović" attended lectures on financial products and recognition of counterfeit money, in which the main financial products and services offered in the domestic market were presented as well as the ways in which we can recognize false i.e. counterfeit money.


GMW is a global event, organized at the initiative of the Child and Youth Finance International (CYFI) aiming to strengthen financial literacy, as well as the spreading of financial knowledge and skills of children and young people.
