The National Bank of Moldova’s first deputy governor, Petru Rotaru, discussed how findings from a FINEDU study of more than 600 students will help shape financial education activities under the National Financial Inclusion Strategy 2030 implementation program. The research found that young people consider financial education important and prioritize understanding investment risks, personal budgeting, consumer rights in financial services, and basic taxation and public finance. Rotaru emphasized the need to help consumers distinguish genuine opportunities from hidden risks, including promises of excessive returns and manipulative information. The bank plans educational materials tailored to different age and social groups, while the broader strategy program covers financial products and digital services, consumer protection, responsible financial inclusion, financial capability and data collection.
