«Now it’s worth thinking about creation of sustainable institutions and channels for ensuring financial literacy on an ongoing basis. This topic should not be forgotten. For several years, the National Bank has been implementing a program to increase the population’s literacy. This suggests that the state attaches special importance to the issue. We need to work in this direction, including through the education system. It is important for the schoolchildren and students to get knowledge as part of their studies,» Nadezhda Dobretsova stressed.
