The future of financial literacy

ICMR director Azleen Osman Rani: With information overload, it has become increasingly difficult to discern between what’s “right” and “wrong”. This becomes especially pertinent for topics that can be complex or heavy, like personal finance. It is therefore ever more crucial that we understand how the younger generation are thinking about their money.

TECHNOLOGY has transformed the way we obtain information.

We are updated by the second, literally by the devices in the palms of our hands. Not only is information borderless and globalised, it has also become democratised – any person with Whatsapp or Facebook now becomes a conduit of information as much as a news anchor.
