The Angola Capital Markets Commission took part in the first meeting of the OECD International Network on Financial Education Africa Network and in a symposium on strengthening financial education in Africa, held in Cape Town on June 18 and 19 and organized by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development with South Africa's Financial Sector Conduct Authority. The discussions focused on how African public authorities can strengthen financial education, financial inclusion and consumer protection through more effective and locally tailored policies. The new OECD International Network on Financial Education Africa Network is intended to serve as a regional platform for cooperation and exchange among African public institutions. Topics covered at the meetings included the network's operating model and strategic priorities, financial literacy as a tool for inclusive growth and sustainable economic development, digital literacy and measures to prevent and combat digital financial fraud, and the financial inclusion of vulnerable groups, including wider access to international awareness initiatives such as Global Money Week.
