During the session, students will have to answer 20 questions on, among others, budget planning and management, means of payment, risk, and digital security.
The students who will play the quiz in the National Final were selected in intra-school competitions, which took place at the beginning of March and involved more than 2 thousand students, from the 7th to the 9th grade, at national level.
The winners of the National Final will represent Portugal in the European Final, which will take place on 20 April and will bring together the best of the best at European level.
The winners of the European competition will receive a cash prize for their school to invest in a financial education project.
Created by the European Banking Federation (EBF) in 2018, the European Money Quiz is a competition that aims to test the financial literacy of 13 to 15-year-olds.
For the fourth consecutive year, the APB, which is a member of the EBF, joins this initiative, which in Portugal alone has already put more than 7,000 students playing the quiz.
At European level and in 2020 alone, the EMQ was played by 500,000 young people in 22 countries.
