Global Money Week Starts: CBCG Governor Meets Secondary School Pupils from Rožaje and Budva
17/03/2025
The celebration of the 2025 “Global Money Week” started with the meeting of the pupils of the Secondary Vocational School from Rožaje and the Secondary Mixed School “Danilo Kiš” from Budva with the CBCG Governor Irena Radović as part of the CBCG Open Day.
Secondary school pupils discussed with Governor Radović and her team the CBCG’s competencies, financial technologies, the banking sector, protection of the bank clients’ rights, the green transition, and other current topics in finance.
In an inspiring discussion with the pupils, Governor Radović highlighted the importance of continuous education in finance, responsible money management, the knowledge required by the modern age, and the advantages of using modern technologies.
In this context, there was talk about the development of digital finance and various financial services, communication through social networks, the increasing use of artificial intelligence, and the importance of identifying reliable information and making responsible financial decisions.
The Open Day is the first in a series of activities with which the CBCG will traditionally celebrate Global Money Week from 17 to 23 March 2025. It is a global event celebrated in 176 countries worldwide to promote financial literacy, economic knowledge and skills among children and young people.
This year’s Global Money Week takes place under the slogan “Think before you follow, wise money tomorrow”, focusing on responsible money management in the context of recognising consumer mentality, emotions and behavioural biases, especially under peer pressure or the influence of social networks.
CBCG has been participating in the global campaign for the 13th consecutive year since its launch in 2013 through workshops and lectures for pre-schoolers and primary and secondary school pupils throughout Montenegro. CBCG will publish educational materials on its digital communication channels and contribute to spreading financial education among children and young people.
