The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic’s Representative Office in the Batken region held a “Financial Literacy” lecture for students in Batken, organised by the Batken branch of Eldik Bank OJSC. The event was framed as part of implementing a presidential decree recognising Eldik Bank as the successor of the “culture of savings”. National Bank representatives covered prudent use and spending of money, protecting personal finances from potential risks, and worked through scenarios on common financial issues. The lecture also included guidance on identifying financial fraudsters and ways to protect against fraud.
