The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic organised a Financial Literacy Camp, with the objective of teaching schoolchildren the basics of financial literacy and security. Children could learn how they can start planning their future early, choosing a profession, learning to formulate financial goals and how to achieve them, deciding in what house to live in, and how to take care of their parents when they are old. During six days of the camp, schoolchildren acquire money management skills, learn how to draw up family budget, financial and business plans for future projects.
