As part of 2019 School and Community Financial Literacy Campaign, in March the FSC held 72 financial literacy promotion sessions at schools and organizations, including Hongye Elementary School in Nantou County with a total of 7,719 participants attending. The sessions are free and have struck a chord with many people since their inception in 2006. As of the end of February 2019, in all 5,794 sessions have been held and over 950,000 people have attended. The target participants include students at all levels of schools, communities, women’ groups, indigenous people, immigrants, military service personnel, correctional agencies and facilities, and social welfare organizations.
The Banking Bureau of the FSC will continue the financial literacy campaign in 2019. Schools or community groups interested in the campaign are invited to register on the website of the Banking Bureau; for more information, please call (02)8968-9709.
