Financial Literacy - International
Due to poor standards in financial literacy across the globe, development of strategies and standards for consumer financial education is on the policy agenda in many countries across the globe.1
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
In 2005, the OECD Council published a set of principles and good practice guidelines for financial education.2
At the G8 International Conference on Improving Financial Literacy, held in Moscow in late November 2006, participants “support[ed] the G8 call for further development by the OECD of financial literacy guidelines based on best practices”.3
