Financial Education in Action: A Special Day with Students from Ponta D’Água School
2025-06-12
On June 12, in celebration of Children’s Month, Caixa organized a special initiative titled “A Day with Children”, dedicated this year to 3rd and 4th grade students from Ponta D’Água School in Praia.
The day was filled with excitement, learning, and delightful surprises. It began with a guided tour of Caixa’s Head Office, where the students got a firsthand look at the inner workings of the bank. They gained a deeper understanding of how the institution supports everyday life and contributes to national development.
This was followed by a Financial Education session held at the Caixa auditorium, with the aim of raising early awareness about the importance of responsible money management and the habit of saving. The session was led by Administrator Dr. Júlia Ferreira, who engaged the children in a lively and interactive manner, using questions, practical tips, and relatable examples tailored to their everyday experiences.
During the event, the students showcased a play inspired by the book “A Poupança do Zito” and delivered an energetic Batuku performance, both proudly led by the children themselves.
The highlight of the day was a surprise appearance by artist Hélio Batalha, a proud native of the Ponta D’Água community. He delivered an energetic performance and shared an inspiring personal story, adding a special and unforgettable touch to the event.
To further strengthen the educational impact of the initiative, each child received a copy of the book “A Poupança do Zito”, a Caixa publication that presents key concepts of saving and financial literacy in a fun and easy-to-understand way.
This initiative reflects Caixa's continued dedication to fostering financial literacy among children and youth, helping shape informed, conscious individuals who are equipped to make responsible financial decisions throughout their lives.
By engaging students from the Ponta d’Água community, Caixa further strengthens its role as a socially responsible institution, committed to financial inclusion and building closer ties with communities — all in pursuit of a more sustainable future.
Financial Education suits me.

Classificação de bancos domésticos de acordo com a sua importância sistémica
Em cumprimento ao disposto pelo Artigo 12, do Capítulo II do Aviso n.º 2/2023, de 28 de dezembro, sobre os Bancos Domésticos de Importância Sistémica (Domestic Systemically Important Banks, sigla D-SIBs), o Banco de Cabo Verde procedeu à classificação em 2025 das instituições de crédito classificadas como D-SIBs, com base nos dados reportados a 31 de dezembro de 2024.
A metodologia definida no Aviso determina que a classificação assenta numa pontuação média de quatro indicadores com pesos distintos, designadamente, a dimensão com 35%, a interconectividade com 20%, a substituibilidade com 35% e o sentimento doméstico com 10%.
De acordo com o Aviso, a regra de classificação estabelece que as instituições cujas pontuações (scores) excedam os 200 pontos são consideradas bancos domésticos de elevada importância sistémica, as que estiverem entre 150 e 200 pontos são designadas bancos domésticos de moderada importância sistémica e as que estiverem entre 95 e 150 pontos são designadas bancos domésticos de ligeira importância sistémica e as que estiverem abaixo dos 95 pontos são consideradassem importância sistémica.
Assim, de acordo com a pontuação, a Caixa Económica de Cabo Verde (CECV) e o Banco Comercial do Atlântico (BCA) são classificados como bancos de elevada importância doméstica, e o Banco Cabo-verdiano de Negócios (BCN) e o Banco Interatlântico (BI) como bancos de ligeira importância doméstica.
O Banco BAI Cabo Verde (BAI CV) figura pela primeira vez, após a classificação inaugural em 2024, com um score de 98 pontos. A instituição será confirmada como sendo banco doméstico de ligeira importância sistémica (reclassificação para escalação superior), se por dois anos consecutivos mantiver uma pontuação média entre 95 e 150 pontos.
