Over the last decade, financial education has risen on the agenda of policy-makers and is today more important than ever as the world faces mounting geopolitical risks, inequalities, and the threat of climate change. The financial sector has also been transformed during this time, with innovations, new players and new technologies bringing opportunities but also increasing risks for consumers, especially those with limited experience.

With this event, the EFG Gamma Foundation is seeking to promote a broader understanding of this key topic by sharing different views from experts including Annamaria Lusardi (Professor at The George Washington University and Edufin Committee’s Director), Andrea Beltratti (Chairman, EFG Gamma Foundation and Financial Industry Expert), Luigi Conte (Chair of ANASF – Italian Association of Financial Advisors) and Mario Nardi (CEO of Pietro Fiorentini Group).

Among other aspects, they will explore the general impact of financial education across ages, gender and geographies, and look at ways of maximising the impact of financial education. They will also discuss how financial education can translate into more effective company management and examine how financial institutions can help to foster greater financial literacy.
