EBA takes stock of lessons learned on financial education across the EU

01 March 2018

The EBA published its first Report on financial education, covering the years 2017/18.

The financial education initiatives covered in the Report are aimed at helping financial consumers improve their financial well-being and their understanding of financial products. These initiatives, such as online resources, seminars and programmes for school students, are indeed focused on products that directly or indirectly fall within the EBA's scope of action.

The Report presents a general view of the most common approaches used by the national authorities in the area of financial education and focuses on four key characteristics of the related initiatives:

The Report also highlights the insights gained by national authorities in the area of financial education.
