In 2022, the “Financial Literacy Survey” conducted by the Financial Information Central Committee found that only 7.1% of people had received financial and economic education, which was a low number, making financial literacy education for the nation an urgent task. . The SMBC Group has been providing financial and economic education in various forms, including on-site classes, teaching materials, and games, but in the future, we will continue to seek even greater cooperation between the public and private sectors to provide financial and economic education to a wide range of people. It will be done.
This event, the first joint event between J-FLEC and SMBC Group with a private financial institution, will focus on “financial well-being,” which has been gaining attention in recent years, and will focus on the significance and role of financial and economic education for employees.
