Financial Wellness Culture Code: How Media Forms Behavioral Patterns
We saw a major event take place last year. Across every single region we launched a financial literacy programme, which remains in place to this day. For 10 years, this was an experimental pilot programme, and now it is a truly nationwide initiative. And of course, the regions have played a decisive role in this endeavour. Our aim is to ensure that every single person has access to various materials. <...> And the rich experience accumulated in the regions will of course be invariably more useful than our ideas about the programme’s potential. People live across the land. They’ll be faster at identifying effective approaches. Today, we are collecting best practices from across the regions

Financial Wellness Culture Code: How Media Forms Behavioral Patterns
I believe that the time has come to stop thinking about this initiative purely as an educational endeavour, and to do everything to bring it to the widest possible audience. We should capitalize on all the opportunities available in order to achieve this. I am grateful in this regard for the proposal to combine expert knowledge with the potential offered by the creative industry. That’s because young people today look at many things very differently. They trust representative of various industries, and we should bring these industries on board for our project

Financial Wellness Culture Code: How Media Forms Behavioral Patterns
Over the course of 10 years, while the project was in its pilot stage (and it really did cover financial literacy, with separate fundamental areas and basics covered), we worked a great deal on methodology. Our five leading economic universities have developed a genuinely universal basis for the education system. Taken as a whole, it covers all aspects, areas, and levels of education, from preschool – strange as that may sound – to educational programmes for the older generation. And I can say that today we have precisely set forth our objectives to foster a financial culture on the basis of these developments. These objectives are strategically important for the entire financial system

Mega Science Infrastructure to Create the Industry of the Future
We need to set a more ambitious objective for ourselves than just doing something we already know and have already done. Otherwise it would be an inadequate objective. That is why we think that resolving a complex design, assembly or start-up problem for this type of equipment would take us setting the bar much higher and creating something that does not yet exist
