For this year’s Global Money Week, the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) along with partner institutions organised a series of webinars targeting higher secondary school students. Students learnt about money matters and got inspired to save for their futures. Similarly to previous years, an assembly speech by the Ministry of Education was sent to all schools in the Maldives. This speech highlighted the importance of saving, understanding the difference between needs and wants, as well as why financial education matters.
