Supervisory Authorities Bolster the Importance of Financial Education

Financial education got a boost last month when both the European Commission, and the three European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, ESMA and EIOPA), collectively called the ESAs, published initiatives related to financial competence and financial digitalization education, respectively. On January 11, 2022, the European Commission and the OECD’s International Network on Financial Education published a joint EU/OECD-INFE financial competence framework for adults. This was a continuation of measures that were announced in Action 7 of the 2020 capital markets union action plan. The joint EU/OECD-INFE’s, Financial Competence Framework for Adults in the European Union, “aims to improve individuals' financial skills so that they can make sound decisions regarding their personal finances. It will support the development of public policies, financial literacy programmes and educational materials by Member States, educational institutions and industry. It will also support the exchange of good practices by policy makers and stakeholders in the EU.”
