Youths Financial Anxiety Addressed Through Basic Financial Literacy Education

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 (Bernama) — In the Council’s efforts to help youth’s in Malaysia acquire financial literacy especially during this Covid-19 pandemic, the Council’s My Money and Me programme, is being organised virtually through a multi-stakeholder approach. Our collaborators include the Securities Commission Malaysia, CGS-CIMB, Federation of Investment Managers Malaysia, Inland Revenue Board, Agensi Kaunseling & Pengurusan Kredit and Bursa Malaysia Islamic. Central to MFPC’s existence is collaboration, allowing the Council to map a way forward to fund these programmes. The Council is extremely pleased that this programme has the endorsement of the regulators and the support of Malaysia’s Ministry of Youth and Sports. In addition, the Financial Education Network (FEN) recognises the programme as one of the initiatives of the Government’s five-year financial literacy strategy. The slightly over 4-hour programme will enable prospective youths to be equipped with basic literacy knowledge.
