InfinBANK joined Global Money Week 2025
Knowledge is light, and financial literacy is the path to a stable future.
In today's world, financial literacy is becoming an integral part of everyday life. Realizing the importance of forming a responsible attitude towards money in the younger generation, InfinBANK was very pleased to support the international campaign Global Money Week (GMW), annually organized with the assistance of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
What is Global Money Week?
Global Money Week — is an international educational initiative covering more than 170 countries of the world, aimed at developing financial awareness among children and teenagers. Its main goal is to teach the younger generation to understand how the economy works, to develop skills to handle money consciously, to plan their money and to make competent financial decisions.
Each year the event is held under a new slogan reflecting the essence and philosophy of the campaign. In 2025, the global message sounded like:
“Think before you follow, wise money tomorrow” This slogan reminds young people of the importance of critical thinking and an informed approach to financial actions in the age of the digital economy and information overload.
Financial literacy - not only in the capital city
One of the key aspects of InfinBANK's participation was the expansion of geographical coverage. Educational events were held not only in the city of Tashkent, but also in regional schools, including remote communities. This is particularly important as access to quality financial knowledge should be equal regardless of where one lives.
InfinBANK participation: sharing knowledge - investing in the future.
InfinBANK traditionally supports initiatives aimed at the development of financial culture and was pleased to join the GMW events. This year, the Bank's specialists took part in a number of educational meetings, open classes and spiritual-educational sessions organized in schools across the Republic.
As it is known, learning begins with history, that is why an excursion to the Museum of Numismatics was organized for three schools of Tashkent city, where pupils were told in detail about the origin of money and how the national currency “uzbek som” first appeared.
The bank's financial experts told students about such concepts as personal budgeting, savings, banking products, internet safety and digital payments. Special attention was paid to practical skills: how not to succumb to financial traps, what is the difference between loans and installments, why you need a financial safety cushion and how not to fall into a debt trap.
Contest among teachers: supporting teachers is an investment in the future
Understanding the key role of teachers in the formation of financial literacy among young people, InfinBANK and 15 other banks led by the Central Bank participated in the organization of a competition among 160 teachers in 100 schools where financial literacy classes are held starting from the 2024-2025 school year. The competition covered 14 regions across the Republic of Uzbekistan. Online participants submitted methodological developments and videos on lessons with pupils. Based on the results of selection, 14 teachers - 12 women and 2 men - made it to the finals. The final stage of the competition took place at Turonbank's head office in Tashkent, where the contestants were awaiting public speeches and evaluation by the jury.
The first place and the main prize was deservedly awarded to Kurbanova Sitora, a teacher from Navoi city.
The second place went to Salima Shakhlo from Syrdarya region.
The third place went to Nurullaeva Madina from Nukus city, Republic of Karakalpakstan.
The winners received valuable gifts and diplomas. The other finalists were awarded with memorable gifts and certificates. In addition, all finalists were recognized as ambassadors of the Central Bank.
InfinBANK considers participation in GMW not as a one-off event, but as part of its long-term corporate social responsibility strategy. The Bank will continue to develop educational programs and invest in building a new generation of responsible, informed and confident consumers of financial services.
Because knowledge is light. And knowledge of financial literacy is also money. Reasonable, honestly earned and competently distributed.
