Topic Background
The background of financial literacy traces its roots to the growing complexity of personal and global financial systems in the 20th and 21st centuries. As economies expanded and diversified, individuals faced increasingly intricate financial decisions regarding credit, investments, mortgages, and retirement planning. The global financial crises, such as the 2008 recession, underscored the dire need for financial education, highlighting the consequences of widespread financial illiteracy. Governments, educational institutions, and organizations worldwide began to prioritize financial literacy programs to equip individuals with the necessary skills to manage their finances, fostering economic stability and personal financial well-being.
Why Should You Attend
Financial literacy encompasses the knowledge and skills needed to make informed and effective financial decisions. At a basic level, it involves understanding concepts such as budgeting, saving, and managing credit and debt. As one progresses, it includes more complex topics like investment strategies, tax planning, retirement planning, and risk management. Advanced financial literacy entails a deep comprehension of economic principles, market dynamics, financial instruments, and the ability to analyze and adapt to financial trends and opportunities. Mastery in financial literacy empowers individuals to achieve financial stability and growth, make strategic decisions, and navigate the complexities of the financial world with confidence.
