The Central Bank of Malta has launched Gen-Economy, its first digital simulation game for economics and finance, aimed at students aged 13 and over. The web-based platform puts players in the role of a central banker, requiring them to make decisions that affect inflation, unemployment and economic growth, with a focus on monetary policy and financial stability. Gen-Economy was developed in collaboration with Curmi & Partners Ltd and financed by the Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation. The official launch took place at St Monica School in Birkirkara and included live demonstrations and hands-on activities involving students who had already tested the game in their classrooms and provided feedback.
