About Publications & Documents Information by Country

As individuals increase their use of financial products, it becomes more important that they be financially literate. Policymakers need to be able to identify individuals who are most in need of financial education and the best ways to improve that education. In order to assist policy makers, the OECD has established the International Gateway for Financial Education to describe, analyse and assess the effectiveness of programmes to improve financial literacy.
