Since 2011, under its Financial Education Project, the APB has been developing various initiatives aimed at different target audiences focused on promoting a bigger, broader and more inclusive financial culture in Portugal.
All of these initiatives are driven by an APB Financial Education Working Group made up of several member banks.
Throughout the year, the APB organises or takes part in various events to raise awareness on Financial Education among different target audiences.
From the European Money Quiz, a financial literacy game aimed at young people, to financial literacy sessions in schools, for senior population and the general public, there are many initiatives aimed at promoting greater financial culture and inclusion in civil society.
Find out more about the various activities of the APB Financial Education Project.
The APB is also a partner in the National Financial Training Plan (NFTP), an initiative from the National Council of Financial Supervisors, comprising the Banco de Portugal, the CMVM and the ASF. Within the framework of this partnership, we should highlight the activities organised in schools and the preparation of Financial Education Booklets for Preschool, Primary and Secondary Education that are intended to promote this topic within the subject of Citizenship and Development, which is part of the school curriculum.
To find out more about the APB Financial Education Project and the type of Financial Literacy activities, you can consult the Financial Education magazine which has a summary of the initiatives organised by APB and other national and international entities.
You can also consult the Financial Literacy Handbook for Europe, prepared by the European Banking Federation (EBF), of which the APB is a member, to find out about the main indicators and financial education projects developed by other European countries, including Portugal.
