The Central Bank of Russia published an update from the 11th All-Russian Congress of Financial Education Volunteers, where participants set priorities for volunteer work focused on helping people distinguish scams from legitimate financial offers, improving how financial corporations understand the needs of people with disabilities, and identifying malpractice in the financial market. The Congress served as a forum to share and scale initiatives and to identify trends in financial literacy work. Most projects presented were targeted at adults and emphasised tailoring content to specific audiences, including family budgeting classes for newlyweds, support to arrange training and employment for young people with disabilities, guidance for servicemen on countering scammers, and explanations of Russian financial laws for residents of new territories. The Central Bank of Russia noted that 19,000 activists are recorded in its register of financial education volunteers, including students, finance professionals, educators, non-profits and commercial companies.
