"In six years, all Russian schoolchildren and college students will have to possess basic knowledge that will help to understand how the financial market is structured - its essence, features, risks, and to form the ability to minimize them. With the help of the fundamentals of financial literacy, people will be able to make informed decisions, properly prepare their own budget and, consequently, achieve their own and family goals, as well as freely use modern services and technologies, ignoring, let's say, the tricks of scammers. They also have to know what public finance is in general, and how to participate in planning expenditures in their region. To understand how the economy as a whole works. The development of our country depends on it", - emphasized the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation.

Mikhail Mishustin also noted the quality of organization of the exposition and a significant amount of positive feedback from visitors.

"It is important that the exposition not only allows people to see and discuss what has been done in various areas, but that it is also a very lively event by itself - with interactive, entertaining events, involving visitors in communication. Just a couple of days ago, the marathon of the Days of Regions ended here. The guests had a unique opportunity to learn about scientific discoveries, culture and traditions of the whole country - from the Far East to Kaliningrad. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to my colleagues from the Russian regions - for a real holiday for visitors to the exposition! I heard this from a huge number of people who were here", - Prime Minister noted.

Apart from the forum dedicated to finances, the exposition will host other events - Days of Industry, Agriculture, Health, Ecology, Culture, Sports, Tourism and other areas. And everyone will find here something of interest - from youth policy, labor market to digital economy and issues of active longevity, listed the head of the Cabinet.
