The Central Bank of Chile (BCCh), together with INACAP, has completed the semifinal phase of its Financial Education Olympics, a student competition created as part of the BCCh centenary programme. Twenty-eight school teams from all regions took part, with BCCh senior officials attending events across six regions. The semifinal round concluded with Vice President Stephany Griffith-Jones attending at INACAP’s Santiago Centro campus and Board Member Claudio Soto at the Puente Alto campus. Other BCCh representatives participated in regional activities in Osorno, Concepción, Temuco, Iquique and Rancagua. The programme targets students in the final two years of secondary school, competing in teams of two to three with a teacher guide, and tests financial literacy and knowledge of the BCCh’s role and objectives through multiple-choice questions and an oral response to an open-ended question. Following the semifinals, seven qualifying teams will compete in the national final on 6 and 7 October at the BCCh’s institutional building. The Olympics launched in late April, and the first stage in June attracted more than 1,000 teams in an online round that selected the 28 semifinalists.
