As part of the 2021 Financial Literacy Campaign for the Campus and Community, the FSC, using online and other methods, held two financial literacy events in June 2021 at schools and organizations, including Minghu Elementary School in Taipei City. Due to the escalation of COVID-19 alert in Taiwan, most previously scheduled financial literacy events were canceled in order to reduce the risk of cluster infection. The events are free of charge, and have struck a chord with many people since their inception in 2006. As of December 2020, a total of 6,865 events had been held and over 1.06 million people had attended. The target participants include students at all levels, communities, women's groups, indigenous people, immigrants, military service personnel, correctional institutions, social welfare groups, senior citizens' groups, police, fire fighters, coast guard personnel, and taxi drivers.
The Banking Bureau of the FSC will continue to promote the financial literacy campaign in 2021, and may also hold outreach activities online. Schools or community groups interested in the campaign are invited to register through the website of the Banking Bureau. For more information, please contact us at (02) 8968-9710 or (02) 8968-9711.
