For starters, its forum theme “Financial Capability as a 21st Century Life Skill” is an outright declaration that financial capability is a must-have-skill. I agree with this statement. Indeed, the ability to make sound financial choices and decisions is essential to ensure one’s financial well-being. And yet, most people are sorely lacking in this necessary skill.
The summit’s keynote session pushes the envelope further: it raises the social, economic and moral imperatives of bridging the financial capability gap. Discussions are also bound to be thought-provoking on the topic “The Ultimate Financial Education Challenges – Impact, Scale and Sustainability.” Ladies and gentlemen. The organizers of this summit have brought together world-class finance education experts and advocates to tackle these important issues.
