Since then, the geography and popularity of the holiday has expanded every year, and now it is celebrated almost all over the world, including the Kyrgyz Republic.
In this year under the patronage of the NBKR the following events were held all over the country: 39 excursions and open days, 59 seminars and trainings, 20 lectures at universities, 30 school lessons and 5 digital, as well as more than 20 contests, interactive games and other exciting activities. According to statistics from the NBKR in 2021, more than three million Kyrgyz people learned about the large-scale financial campaign in the country, of which more than 4,000 people directly participated in the organized activities
As an active participant in the movement to improve financial literacy in Kyrgyzstan, Keremet Bank also carried out a series of activities that were intensive and interesting: neither schoolchildren, nor students, nor adults were left without attention.
