As part of State Banks National Financial Literacy Program for Youth (NFLP-Y), the central bank along with Jazz has developed an engaging game called ‘PomPak – Learn to Earn’. The game is specially designed to teach the youth the importance of managing their finances. PomPak is a narrative-driven film that explores the journey of two families who are on their way to develop an economic venture.
The game focuses on developing skills like budgeting, saving, and banking. PomPak is accessible in both English and Urdu. It has defined levels for three age groups: children (9-12), adolescents (13-17), and youth (18-29). Moreover, upon successful completion, the players receive a certificate as well from NIBAF and NFLP-Y. The game can be played on a desktop or download as an app.
