The issue before us is whether or not we are sufficiently aware and adequately empowered to manage our personal finances today. While the BSP already has several financial education outreaches, we know that much more can be done towards empowering our financial consumers. And we are committed towards this goal. This afternoon’s book launching is a concrete manifestation of this commitment.
For this endeavor, let me thank the authors of the articles. The readers of our Wealth Watch Book will certainly benefit from your “wealth” of experiences as practitioners in the field of finance. Let me also thank our Financial Consumer Protection Department that always tries to think outside of the box in designing new and innovative means of delivering our key financial literacy messages.
