Securities Commission Malaysia published an update on the launch of Malaysia’s National Strategy for Financial Literacy 2026–2030 (NS2.0) alongside Financial Literacy Month 2025 (FLM2025), setting out five strategic priorities and introducing a Monitoring and Evaluation Framework to track delivery. The strategy is positioned as a nationwide effort led through the Financial Education Network (FEN), with the Prime Minister officiating the launch. NS2.0, under the theme “Shaping a Resilient Financial Future”, is designed to support Malaysians in managing finances across life stages, including retirement planning, protection against unexpected financial shocks, and building confidence in saving and investing. Key initiatives include stronger partnerships with industry, civil society and community groups, tailored support for vulnerable households and underserved communities, and measures to boost digital financial literacy. Implementation is to be governed through measurable targets and key performance indicators, while FLM2025 begins with the ‘Skuad Celik Kewangan’ mobile roadshow run by FEN members, which is planned to reach 111 locations and include outreach to persons with disabilities and rural micro-entrepreneurs. The National Financial Literacy Symposium 2025, held on 2 October, complemented the launch by convening researchers, policymakers and community leaders to share evidence-based insights and practical solutions intended to inform initiatives under NS2.0.
