Buratino is a favorite cartoon about financial literacy: Anton Siluanov
At the RUSSIA EXPO, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov spoke about the prospects of the digital ruble and the choice of business partners.
"A favorite cartoon specifically on financial literacy? Probably, you know, something like „Buratino“ comes to mind. You should not chase after big money. You must have good business partners. That’s probably the most important thing", — said the head of the Ministry of Finance Anton Siluanov, answering questions from economics students at the RUSSIA EXPO.
The country’s chief financier emphasized that it is also important to study and then apply the acquired knowledge. According to Anton Siluanov, in 2024 Russian citizens will be able to try to open a digital wallet and use digital money for payment.
"Speaking of which, business colleagues, as a rule, are your friends from school, there are also friends from the institute, there are, of course, from business. But such sincere friends and sincere relations with people are formed at the school bench or while studying at the university", — the minister shared.
Siluanov named knowledge, team and creativity as the main components of success, which are also shown in the cartoon about Buratino.
