The Bank of France announced that it and partners in the national financial education strategy (EDUCFI) will run France’s Financial Education Week, part of the OECD-backed Global Money Week, from 17 to 23 March 2025 with free conferences, roundtables and workshops on budgeting and personal and professional finance across the country. The 13th edition theme, “Don’t follow just anyone for your finances, choose vigilance”, focuses on the need for neutral and reliable financial information and aims to raise public awareness, particularly among young people, of financial scams including those spread via social media. Key events include an opening session at the Bank of France headquarters in Paris featuring Deputy Governor Agnès Bénassy-Quéré and a conference on young people, social media and investing, an EDUCFI forum with partner-led stands and workshops, a 20 March conference at Citéco on how incentive-based public policies affect household behaviour, and two 21 March award ceremonies held with the Ministry of National Education. The programme also includes hundreds of local activities delivered by the Bank of France’s branches, IEDOM-IEOM in overseas territories and EDUCFI partners, alongside a new video series on female entrepreneurship (“À vos marques, prêtes, partez”) produced with public and industry partners and published on mesquestionsdentrepreneur.fr.
