With the participation of Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, United Nations Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development and Honorary Chair of the Dutch MoneyWise Platform

The European Commission (DG FISMA) and the OECD International Network on Financial Education (OECD-INFE) will jointly develop a financial competence framework for the European Union. The project is developed in the framework of the EU Capital Markets Union (CMU) Action Plan, which mandates the European Commission to work towards the development of a dedicated EU financial competence framework. Such frameworks will build upon the existing OECD-INFE Core Competencies Framework on Financial Literacy for Youth and the G20/OECD INFE Core Competencies Framework on Financial Literacy for Adults. The joint EU/OECD-INFE financial competence framework will reflect recent and emerging issues, including financial digitalisation and sustainable finance. The new EU framework will aim at providing a common terminology and framework at the EU level for informing the development of financial literacy policies and programmes, identifying gaps in provision, and creating assessment, measurement and evaluation tools.
