In a world of digital trends, most youths are engaged in using social applications, video games and face challenges while making sound financial decisions. In order to financially educate youths, Global Money Week (GMW) 2025 empowers them with essential financial knowledge. As one of the most trusted and leading financial institutions in Nepal, we are committed to providing the next generation with the information and skills needed for responsible money management. Our commitment is reflected in our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, which include financial literacy programs and community engagement activities.
Understanding Global Money Week
Global Money Week is an annual financial awareness campaign led by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). It educates youngsters how to analyze finances and make responsible choices for a stable future by trying to promote smart financial behaviors at a young age.
The theme for 2025, “Think before you follow, wise money tomorrow”. This year, we proudly support Global Money Week (GMW) 2025, an international initiative that promotes financial education among young people. This 13th edition is celebrated from March 17 to 23, 2025(Chaitra 4 to 10 2081).
Think Before You Follow
Digital Influence: Financial trends and recommendations in today’s digital era are typically influenced by social media influencers known as “influencers” and the increased use of Artificial Intelligence. The youth are particularly vulnerable to such influences and may be deceived into following financial trends without understanding the implications.
Herd Mentality: The message highlights the importance of breaking the herd mentality, where individuals make money decisions on the basis of what others do, rather than their own research and knowledge. It can lead to poor money decisions, especially on the basis of peers or social media.
Wise Money Tomorrow
Critical Thinking: The subject requires youth to develop critical thinking in order to interpret finance information and guidance. With critical thinking, they will be able to identify credible sources and not be deceived by biased or false information.
Long-term Financial Stability: By making good decisions now, youth can establish the foundation for a prosperous future. This means learning to save, invest wisely, and manage finances successfully.
Our Commitment to Financial Literacy
Financial literacy acts as a building block of secure and prosperous future. We as a responsible partner recognize the importance of tutoring the young generation about savings, healthy spending and wise investments. Organizing various activities we are committed to equipping future generations with all the tools required to excel the financial world effectively.
Key Objectives of GMW 2025
- Enhancing financial knowledge: Providing education to teach the children and young people basic ideas of investment, savings, and banking.
- Promoting good decision-making: Providing financial responsibility knowledge through interactive educational workshops to develop good decision-making.
- Supporting safe financial habits: Creating awareness on prevention of fraud and responsible digital transactions.
The Bank’s Contribution to Financial Literacy in Nepal
Being a leading financial institution helps us see that economic stability demands basic financial knowledge for sustainable growth. The development of financial literacy in Nepal receives support from our institution through different programs that celebrate Global Money Week.
The bank serves as a major force in financial education because it distributes diverse learning materials to all parts of Nepal.
As a partner with local schools and community centers and universities we supply educational materials that support better personal financial understanding for people in our area. We consider the education of youth financial concepts to be necessary because it serves as a vital investment which will shape Nepal’s future. On our 18th anniversary, we have provided scholarships for 35 students.
Through technological efficiency our organization can enhance our outreach for Global Money Week events and achieve expanded results throughout the calendar year.
The Importance of Financial Awareness
Financial literacy is not just about saving money; it’s about making the right choices today to ensure a secure tomorrow. Young people need to be able to know the difference between sound financial opportunities and misleading schemes. Critical thinking plays a vital role in making that financial decision which would make their future that much easier and successful.
