BCRA at Tecnópolis

Including, Teaching, and Promoting is Central

The BCRA has taken part in the tenth edition of the Tecnópolis fair proposing that people became acquainted with financial inclusion, thus improving everyone's quality of life and boosting Argentina’s economy.

The BCRA’s stand at the fair was part of the thematic pole called “Nurture the human side”. This curatorial tour was developed on the basis of solidarity, sensitivity, and knowledge, and was meant to contribute towards a fairer and more equitable future.

The proposal was intended for people of all ages to become protagonists and to learn by interacting in different spaces. Visitors were thus able to test their own knowledge on the advantages of operating in the financial system, and of banking.
