KARACHI– State Bank of Pakistan in collaboration with National Institute of Banking & Finance (NIBAF) is implementing National Financial Literacy Program for Youth (NFLP-Y) to impart essential financial education to Pakistani youth and school going children for strengthening of their money management skills and enhance their understanding of financial matters.
National Financial Literacy Program for Youth (NFLP-Y) has launched Pakistan’s first online financial literacy course which is delivered through an engaging and interactive game.
The game targets three age-groups – Children (9-12), Adolescents’ (13-17), and Youth (18-29) and can be accessed through your desktop browser or through a dedicated mobile phone application.

In just a couple of hours, users can master the essentials of saving, budgeting, borrowing, and banking, among many other topics.Interactive questions follow each topic to assess the knowledge of the students. Those users who complete the course are awarded with a Certificate of Financial Literacy.
