Financial literacy programme to be launched in selected schools

FINANCIAL Industry Collective Outreach (Finco), a collaboration between all financial institutions in Malaysia with the guidance of Bank Negara Malaysia, announced a new financial literacy programme that will be launched in selected primary schools early next year.

The programme will be built on current efforts of individual financial institutions to address low levels of financial literacy, particularly among students from underprivileged communities. It will also support Malaysia’s national strategy for financial literacy.
