A high-level conference "Financial Education in the Arab World: Strategies, Implementation and Impact" kicked off Thursday in the Moroccan city of Skhirate.

Organized by the Arab Monetary Fund (AMF) and Morocco's central bank, the conference brings together high-level government representatives of finance, education and central banks, as well as researchers and private sector practitioners.

The two-day conference includes plenary and breakout sessions to share best practices on developing financially capable communities in the Arab region.

The event will present recent experience on financial education, share policy lessons from country-level programs, and discuss broader links between financial education, consumer protection and economic inclusiveness.

Emphasis will be placed on assessing efficiency and impact of financial education programs and on ways to develop a regional framework for practical action moving forward. Endit
