The financial crisis has underlined the need to better educate people at all levels of society on how to spend, save, invest, borrow and manage debt wisely. It has also raised questions about what it takes to effectively engage people and change their financial behaviour.
Now in its seventh year, the Citi-FT Financial Education Summit has become the most established annual international forum on financial capability. The 2010 Summit in Sydney will break new ground by focusing on the psychology behind personal financial decision-making and how the application of behavioural economics to financial education programme design could lead to more effective outcomes.
- Learn about some of the best financial literacy initiatives focused on savings, debt management, retirement, investing, financial planning and asset building
- Gain insights into how advances in behavioural economics can improve financial capability in both developed and developing countries
- Explore how generational, cultural and socio-economic differences affect consumer financial behavior
- Discuss ways to design more efficient and scalable financial education programmes around the world
Join 300 representatives of non-profit organisations, financial institutions, government agencies/regulators, multilateral institutions, microfinance institutions, consumer advocacy groups, educational organisations and private business - from Australia, Asia Pacific and beyond - for this landmark event.
