March 22, 2022 - The Financial Market Commission (CMF), alongside the Central Bank of Chile (BCCh) and the National Consumer Service (SERNAC), will participate in the 10th edition of Global Money Week (GMW). This initiative is organized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
The GMW aims to raise awareness of the importance of young people being financially literate from an early age and developing the necessary skills to make sustainable financial decisions, therefore achieving a better well-being and quality of life.
Under the motto "Build your future - be smart with your money," the CMF, BCCh and SERNAC invited a group of Chilean elementary and high school students committed to financial education to hold discussions and reflect on the relevance of money, planning and saving, and financial changes caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Since its creation, GMW has reached 53 million young people in 176 countries around the world. In 2021 alone the event involved over 16,000 public and private organizations related to finance and economics, such as ministries, central banks, financial regulators, youth organizations, and non-profit organizations, among others.
