About the
National Financial Literacy Symposium 2024
(NFLS 2024)
The NFLS is an annual event that brings together policymakers, experts from various industries, and academicians, to have important discourse about the promotion of financial literacy and inclusion, through a dynamic blend of plenary sessions and research paper presentations.
Despite significant progress in financial inclusion over the past decade, the challenge of achieving holistic and meaningful financial inclusion persists, especially for the underserved segments of the population. Bridging financial literacy gaps is crucial to empower these communities and further advance financial inclusion. Themed ‘Inclusive Financial Well-being – Nurturing Financial Capabilities Across Communities,’ NFLS 2024 focuses on ensuring all segments of society, particularly underserved individuals and businesses, are equipped with the necessary financial knowledge, skills, and resources to meaningfully participate in the financial system and the broader economy.
- Emphasise the critical role of financial literacy and capability in empowering underserved individuals and businesses to improve their financial well-being.
- Gain insights into the challenges and barriers faced by the underserved segments in promoting financial capability and inclusion, and discuss innovative approaches to address these issues.
- Foster greater collaboration between public and private sectors to implement inclusive and effective financial literacy strategies.
