Afternoon Session III

Financial Literacy and the Business Case
Video
1:45PM - 3:00PM

In the backdrop of the first global economic crisis, and arguably the worst economic crisis in a generation or more, it could be argued that a solid business case can be made for financial literacy. From risk management, to issues of corporate brand management, to rebuilding global consumer confidence, financial literacy is one of the key strategies for creating stabilized and sustainable economies, and wealth, in the post crisis environment. Financial literacy 3.0 speaks to the hard business case; from fusing financial literacy into a myriad of consumer facing lending products (home loans, auto loans, credit cards, etc), to incorporating financial literacy tools and services into the human resource departments of employers, to preparing the customer of the future (our youth), financial literacy 3.0. is increasing a new hard economic tool.
