Preparatory Meeting Held for the European Money Quiz 2026 National Competition
On 27 February 2026, a preparatory meeting was held ahead of the national competition “European Money Quiz 2026,” organized by the Macedonian Banking Association, in cooperation with the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia and the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Republic of North Macedonia.
The meeting was attended by representatives of the organizing institutions, as well as mentors and student teams from registered primary and secondary schools across the country. Participants were thoroughly introduced to the rules and format of the competition and were provided with guidelines and educational materials to support effective and high-quality preparation.
The organizers expressed particular satisfaction with this year’s record level of interest in participation, which is a clear indicator of the growing awareness of the importance of financial literacy among young people. The “European Money Quiz” is not merely a competition, but a platform through which students deepen their knowledge of financial concepts, responsible personal financial management, and the functioning of the financial system—skills that are essential for their future.
This year, the national competition is being organized for the eighth time, with a total of 1,276 registered students—1,144 in Macedonian and 132 in Albanian—under the mentorship of 127 teachers from 109 primary and secondary schools across the country. These figures confirm that financial education is becoming an increasingly important segment of the educational process.
The national competition will be held within the Global Money Week, in the period from 16 to 22 March 2026. The two best-performing students will represent our country at the European final, which will take place on 18 and 19 May 2026 in Brussels, Kingdom of Belgium.
The Macedonian Banking Association, the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia, and the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Republic of North Macedonia remain firmly committed to the continuous advancement of financial literacy among young people and to strengthening their capacity to make informed, responsible, and sustainable financial decisions in modern society.
