Chile's Ministry of Finance signals a financial education update as the next step in the National Financial Inclusion Strategy

Chile's Ministry of Finance, through its Capital Markets Coordinator Alejandro Puente, used the launch of the Personal Finance Hub organised by startup Chócale to recap executive-led initiatives on financial education and inclusion and to flag that the next step in the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion will be an update to its financial education component. Puente highlighted measures including the Fintech Law, the Consolidated Debt Registry and the recently launched Law against Over-indebtedness, and welcomed the updated “Know Your Debt” portal hosted on the Financial Market Commission’s website, which the ministry helped develop with its Government Lab two years earlier. He also pointed to new regulations intended to improve information for consumers about credit and payment cards. The National Strategy for Financial Inclusion, launched in January 2025, is structured around increasing trust, strengthening infrastructure, expanding access and use, and improving inclusion for specific groups including women, young people, older adults, people with disabilities, low-income segments and microenterprises. The ministry indicated that the forthcoming work under the strategy will focus on updating financial education.
