The European Money Quiz is Europe’s largest annual financial education competition for 13- to 15-year-old students, attracting up to one million Kahoots each year. It was launched in 2017 and is part of the initiatives of the EBF and its national member banking associations during the European Money Week.
During the competition, students were asked about their knowledge of financial management with an emphasis on long-term planning, saving, digital currencies, cyber security and online fraud prevention. All questions were drafted in accordance with the OECD/INFE guidelines for adolescent and youth financial literacy.
As EET emphasizes, it will continue with undiminished interest to support all financial literacy actions not only for students but also for the general population.
