All-Russian educational relay race "My Finances" was launched at the Exposition

On April 11, at the International RUSSIA EXPO, the All-Russian educational relay race "My Finances" - a new large-scale project of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation - was inaugurated. It will unite the activities of the Ministry, regions and federal methodological centers under a single brand. The project is carried out within the framework of the implementation of the Strategy for Improving Financial Literacy and Building Financial Culture until 2030.

The relay race was launched at the Exposition by Pavel Kadochnikov, Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation.

"Today 70% of our citizens demonstrate an average or high level of financial literacy. This is a good result. But we should not stop at what we have achieved. Together with the expert community, we are constantly working on new formats of interaction with the audience. This is how the relay race "My Finances" appeared," the Deputy Minister emphasized. 

The key task of the new project is to popularize the topics of financial literacy, to make them even more accessible, regardless of where a person lives - in a big city or a remote village.

The relay race will consist of three thematic stages. The first stage is called "Family Budget". It will last until the end of June and will be consonant with the "Year of the Family" taking place in the country. The second - "First Money" - will start in July and will be devoted to financial education and the topic of first money. The third - "Responsible Credit" - will take place in November and will touch upon the issues of responsible borrowing.
