• As part of the celebrations, the RBI will conduct a mass media campaign to spread financial awareness.
• This year's Financial Literacy Week theme is "Good Financial Behaviour – Your Saviour," which is in line with the National Strategy for Financial Education.
• The objective of the plan is to create financial awareness and build a financially resilient India. The 2023 celebrations will focus on the importance of financial savings, planning, and efficient budgeting.
• Financial literacy is different from literacy, and only 27% of Indian adults are financially literate. While literacy rates in the country are increasing, financial literacy levels have not kept pace. Financial literacy involves understanding financial concepts and using money efficiently, including budgeting, managing credit, and investing.
• Many literate individuals are unaware of the basics of stock markets, equity funds, and mutual funds, which are essential for investing wisely. Increasing financial literacy is critical to the overall economic growth of the country.
