Kyrgyzstan launches the global Money Week campaign, ‘Smart Money – Prosperity at Home’

From 30 March to 3 April 2026, a global Money Week will take place across all regions of Kyrgyzstan, aimed at improving financial literacy among young people and expanding access to financial knowledge outside major cities.

The National Bank, in collaboration with commercial banks, government bodies, international and civil society organisations, is the initiator and coordinator of the events.

The week’s programme includes:

• tours and open days at commercial banks;
• educational lectures and interactive sessions;
• competitions and themed activities for young people;
• an information campaign on social media under the hashtag #GMWK2026KG.

The Guarantee Fund OJSC will play a special role. Staff from the fund will deliver guest lectures to students at Kuwait International University and the I. Razzakov Kyrgyz State Technical University, discussing financial support for entrepreneurs and the opportunities offered by guarantee instruments. In addition, representatives of the Fund’s Osh branch will take part in a financial fair hosted by Osh State University with the support of the National Bank.

This initiative is particularly relevant given the growing need among young people for reliable knowledge about financial instruments, skills in managing personal finances effectively, and protection against fraud.

Global Money Week is an annual international campaign implemented in over 170 countries worldwide, aimed at improving the financial literacy of children and young people.
