Within the programme of financial education, carried by the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CBBH), for several years, already, and on the occasion of the World Saving Day, celebrated on October 31, 2018, the appropriate promotional and commemorative activities are organized in the premises of the Pale Primary School and the Pale High School, in Pale.
During this educational visit, the suitable presentation on money management and importance of saving, adapted to pupils’ age, were organized, aiming to create the awareness and development of these useful habits with kids from their earliest days. Furthermore, the pupils were able to get acquainted with the work and functions of the CBBH.
The World Savings Day was an opportunity for distribution of appropriate publications to children – kids picture book entitled “Novko and Novčica in the Moneyland” and a flyer for high school pupils entitled „What is saving?“.
This and similar events organized on the occasion of the World Savings Day, are the integral parts of the financial education that the CBBH has been carrying out in the past years with the aim of strengthening financial inclusion and responsible financial management for the benefit of economic development and growth of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
