To celebrate Global Money Week 2022, the Central Bank of Jordan implemented several activities that were held in Abdul Hameed Shoman Library and Mayar International Schools. New financial literacy materials, that gamify financial concepts and make learning fun for kids, were specially designed for GMW. One of these materials was called “Financial Sector Monopoly” board game, where players could buy stocks in banks and non-banking financial companies that are subject to Central Bank of Jordan’s supervision. In addition, to individual saving bonds issued by the CBJ, this game encouraged saving, investing, using digital payments and other beneficial and healthy financial behaviours. It also contained multiple financial awareness messages.

Moreover, several financial education paper plate activities for different age groups were prepared, these activities cover various topics such as Jordanian currency, budgeting, saving, financial and banking services. These materials were distributed during the financial education activities implemented by the CBJ, and by CBJ’s employees in different governorates.
