The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration has joined the Global Money Week 2024 initiative

On March 18, 2024, Ukraine launched the annual international campaign Global Money Week, dedicated to improving financial literacy. This year's theme of the initiative, "Protect your money, secure your future," is particularly relevant in the context of martial law.

The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration joined the events of Global Money Week 2024. On March 20, within the framework of the FinLit Forum conference, students of groups FC-314, FC-314st and FC-325 of the training program "Finance and Credit" took part in an online lecture on the subject "Analysis and Control of Banking Institutions" on the Classroom platform.   

The conference was opened by distinguished guests:

• Andriy Pyshnyi, Head of the National Bank of Ukraine;
• Yoshiki Takeuchi, Deputy Secretary General of the OECD (online);
• Kim Kim Yi, Acting Director of the USAID Mission to Ukraine;
• Svitlana Rekrut, Managing Director of the Deposit Guarantee Fund;
• Ihor Khvorostyanyi, Director General of the Directorate of School Education at the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.

The event focused on safe money management, the importance of a responsible attitude to personal finances, awareness of financial risks and the ability to protect one's funds from fraudulent schemes. Participation of FEBA students in such a conference helps to increase their financial literacy and awareness.

The students listened to the presentations with great interest:

• Christophe de Witte, professor of the Faculty of Economics and Business at Maastricht University;
• Ursula Vysotska, PhD, banking expert;
• Denis Philip, professor of Finance, Director of the Centre for Banking Institutions and Development at Durham University.

The conference was followed by a discussion during which the students expressed their views on the role of financial literacy and the importance of its personal development.

Participation in Global Money Week 2024 was a great opportunity for FEBA students to join the European experience and innovative methods of education aimed at developing financial literacy of Ukrainians. We express our gratitude to the organizers of the FinLit Forum for a meaningful and useful event.
