Financial literacy

The OeNB helps people learn more about economics and finance. The aim is to strengthen financial knowledge so that everyone can better understand why stable prices and safe financial markets matter – and, in turn, make smarter decisions when it comes to their money.

Financial literacy – a key to the future

Financial literacy helps people make informed decisions – whether they are saving, investing or planning for their future. It makes complex topics tangible and can strengthen personal freedom, as it empowers people to pursue long-term financial goals.
At the same time, financial literacy has a stabilising effect on society: well-informed people make more responsible decisions, reduce risks such as over-indebtedness and contribute to economic stability and equal opportunities. Financial literacy is therefore indispensable for the OeNB.
