The Italian team has won the European Money Quiz, Europe\u2019s largest financial literacy competition for 13\u201315-year-olds, organised by the European Banking Federation (EBF). National winners from 30 countries gathered in Brussels to compete for the title of European champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Wim Mijs, CEO of the European Banking Federation, said: \u201cWe are extremely proud to host the 9th European Money Quiz \u2013 a clear demonstration of the banking sector\u2019s strong commitment, alongside participating schools, to enhancing financial skills. The competition continues to grow and evolve, with Bulgaria and Cyprus joining us for the first time this year. The excitement and energy in today\u2019s finals were palpable \u2013 we were truly impressed by the participants\u2019 knowledge and enthusiasm. Financial literacy is a key that can unlock a secure future. Ensuring that young Europeans develop the right skills and attitudes from an early age is vital.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quiz challenged students on essential financial topics relevant to teens, including long-term planning, saving strategies, understanding cryptocurrencies, cybersecurity awareness, and responsible credit management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, 73054 students from 2877 schools across 30 countries took part in the competition. Sixty students qualified for the European Finals in Brussels, accompanied by teachers and national banking representatives. The two-day programme included the final quiz round, a visit to Belgium\u2019s Financial Services and Markets Authority\u2019s Wikifin Lab, a bell-ringing ceremony at the Euronext Stock Exchange, and a visit to the Parlamentarium \u2013 the European Parliament\u2019s visitor centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 edition saw participation from 30 countries: Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, and Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial literacy is crucial for a secure and resilient society. The European Commission has recently announced a European Financial Literacy Strategy, due to be published later this year.\u00a0 While numerous initiatives on financial literacy already exist at the national level, in the private sector, and through NGOs, the Commission\u2019s forthcoming strategy provides an opportunity to better coordinate these efforts. As a long-standing advocate in this field, the EBF stands ready to contribute to this crucial endeavour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
