The National Bank of Moldova ran an interactive workshop simulating a monetary policy meeting for students at the Republican Theoretical Lyceum “Aristotel” as part of Global Money Week 2025, led by Governor Anca Dragu. The exercise invited participants to role-play professional decision-makers and explore how setting the policy interest rate can affect the economy and financial stability. Students took on the roles of members of the National Bank of Moldova’s Executive Committee, worked with real macroeconomic data from the Inflation Report, and reached a monetary policy decision. The simulation focused on how the base rate influences lending, saving and the balance of financial markets, and marked the second edition of the programme within the central bank’s financial education activities.
