Board Game Moneture

A board game Moneture was developed by the National Bank of Serbia to familiarise both the professional community and the wider public with the way monetary policy is conducted. The game introduces its participants to the world of monetary policy and guides them through the principles of its creation and implementation in an amusing, imaginative and exciting way.

Using Moneture to explain monetary policy determinants, notably the concept of inflation and its elements, is a novel educational activity that the National Bank of Serbia is developing as part of its corporate social responsibility.

Moneture is a board party game used to simulate National Bank of Serbia’s activities in controlling inflation when faced with real-world effects and changes. To play Moneture, no knowledge of economics is required, only the willingness to learn how the monetary system operates.

A participant takes on the role of the Bank’s Governor and is challenged to choose adequate monetary measures to combat challenges posed by our monetary system. When taking measures to maintain inflation within the desired target, a participant wins or loses points. The points won represent success elements: the inflation rate, value of the dinar and citizens’ trust. To gain membership of the European Monetary System, players must meet three conditions (stable prices, stable financial system and central bank independence). The winner is the player who first completes all tasks and gets to the end of the inner circle of the board – the EU average inflation.  

The game is intended for pupils of secondary schools of economics, students of faculties of economics and other faculties specialising in banking and finance, as well as to National Bank of Serbia’s employees and all those wishing to have fun and amuse themselves while learning about monetary policy. Printed both in English and Serbian, Moneture is available to employees of other central banks and the National Bank of Serbia’s guests and colleagues.
