The Capital Markets Board of Türkiye published remarks by Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek stating that the Board’s Financial Literacy Platform, launched two years ago, has grown to more than 1 million active users and over 45 million visits. In the speech, Şimşek presented financial literacy as a core skill for managing income, savings, borrowing, investment and risk in an increasingly complex and digital financial system, alongside digital and artificial intelligence literacy. He said the work extends beyond online education through tailored training for different parts of society. As part of that effort, schools across Türkiye held a nationwide financial literacy lesson on 24 March for primary, middle and high school students, reaching about 18 million pupils with age-specific content. Şimşek said the objective is to build a society with stronger saving habits and a more developed investment culture, including investors who can distinguish risk from opportunity, prioritise long-term investment and rely on analysis rather than social media tips.
