At a symposium panel in Mostar, the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina outlined its current work on financial literacy and confirmed that financial education is a key strategic goal in its 2025–2027 Strategic Plan, amid research indicating that basic financial knowledge in Bosnia and Herzegovina remains low. Governor Jasmina Selimovic framed financial literacy as essential for day-to-day decisions on budgeting, borrowing, saving, digital payments and insurance. The central bank is preparing a Strategic Plan for Financial Education and Inclusion for 2025–2027 structured around three priorities, Information, Inclusion and Innovation, with a focus on the systemic development of financial literacy across the population and particular emphasis on young people, vulnerable groups and socially excluded groups. The CBBH is leading an initiative to integrate financial education into the education system in cooperation with public faculties of economics, educational institutions, competent ministries, and regulatory bodies, and highlighted plans for a gender-sensitive approach aimed at improving women’s participation in financial education and financial decision-making.
