The Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan marked the fifth anniversary of Finlit.uz, its financial literacy website and related social media channels launched in 2020, and outlined the programme’s reach across different population groups, including students, teachers, women in remote areas, families of migrants, young entrepreneurs, and prospective users of banking services. The Central Bank reported that it is implementing 73 projects to raise financial knowledge and skills, including integrating financial literacy into education through workbooks and interactive assignments delivered to 100 schools, 160 teachers and 7,200 students, and a financial literacy course rolled out to 32 non-economics universities with trained teachers appointed as ambassadors. Community outreach has included roundtables in 71 remote districts and regular events at the Republican Children’s Library, the Alisher Navoi National Library and 112 neighbourhood libraries in Tashkent, alongside around 10 media projects, nearly 5,000 educational publications, one music video, two TV series and 60 podcast episodes, as well as annual Global Money Week and World Savings Day campaigns. Work has been carried out in cooperation with international organisations, ministries and agencies, commercial banks, payment institutions and 15 higher education institutions with economics profiles, and the Central Bank invited participation in its financial literacy initiatives via Finlit.uz.
