Financial education and consumer protection

23-24 May 2019, Cape Town, South Africa: The conference will focus on financial education of the future including the needs of different population age groups; how to improve consumers' financial behaviour; and the implications of digitalisation.

The joint report by the G20/OECD Task Force on Financial Consumer Protection, FinCoNet and the OECD International Network on Financial Education, based on a survey of the membership of the three bodies, suggests policy actions that can be applicable to the regulation and supervision of the products that consumers use to meet their short-term credit needs, and to financial education and awareness initiatives addressing credit.
