CITI-FT FINANCIAL EDUCATION SUMMIT 2011

Empowering the Disadvantaged:
Inclusive and Innovative Approaches to Financial Capability


The aim of the Summit will be to increase the uptake of financial education initiatives at grassroots levels – especially those designed for microentrepreneurs, migrant workers, and low-income youth – and explore the use of technology and media in scaling up programmes and reducing the cost of delivery. The roles of national frameworks and multi-stakeholder partnerships in addressing large-scale financial capability and consumer protection needs will also be addressed. 		Now in its eighth year, the Citi-FT Financial Education Summit has become the most established annual international forum on financial literacy. The 2011 Summit in Indonesia will focus on the importance of financial education for people at the Base of the Pyramid, and the need for greater innovation and collaboration among stakeholders to make faster progress on financial capability and financial inclusion.
