As part of the Action Plan for the implementation of the Financial Literacy Enhancement Program for the Population for 2026–2030, the National Bank of Tajikistan organized the Financial Literacy Festival in the city of Buston on 25 June 2026.
The opening forum, held at the Palace of Culture in Buston, was attended by Daler Murodalizoda, Deputy Chairman of the National Bank of Tajikistan, and Firuza Nurullozoda, Chairperson of the City of Buston, who delivered opening remarks.
In their speeches, they emphasized that improving financial literacy is one of the key factors in ensuring the sustainable development of the banking system, strengthening public confidence in the financial sector, and expanding the country's payment infrastructure.
During the forum, specialists from the National Bank of Tajikistan, credit financial institutions, and insurance companies delivered educational presentations on current financial topics, including:

Cashless payments and their safe use;
Loans for business and production development;

The event brought together more than 300 participants, including representatives of government institutions, labor migrants, women, young people, school and vocational students, university students, and teachers.
The second part of the festival took place in the central square of Buston, where a Financial Services Exhibition was organized. Twenty-nine credit financial institutions and nine insurance companies showcased their financial products and services. Visitors received consultations on modern financial services, electronic wallet verification, payment card applications, and other financial products.
Such exhibitions help increase public awareness of financial services, encourage healthy competition among market participants, and improve the quality and accessibility of financial services.
