Financial literacy unlocks financial security, economic mobility – FSCA exec

The fifth Money Smart Week South Africa will provide free financial education, as financial literacy unlocks economic mobility and enables people to achieve financial stability and secure their financial futures, says regulator Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) Conduct of Business Supervision divisional executive Kedibone Dikokwe​​.

"Money Smart Week provides free and accessible high-impact financial education tailored to diverse audiences with different needs. It leverages the voluntary participation of financial sector professionals and organisations in the public and private sectors to provide free financial education.

"Financial knowledge is a gateway to economic opportunity and prosperity. A lack of financial education in communities perpetuates financial insecurity and limits their economic potential. This is why the Money Smart Week campaign is a vital initiative," she says.
