A National Financial Literacy Strategy for AustriaDownload PDFThe national financial literacy strategy for Austria will guide the actions of Austrian stakeholders for the next five years. It creates a Financial Literacy Stakeholder Council and it identifies policy priorities based on evidence. It presents over forty action tools to support the strategy's implementation, and defines an impact evaluation framework. Its ultimate objective is to increase the financial well-being of people living in Austria over the long-term. The design of the strategy is in line with the OECD Council Recommendation on Financial Literacy. The strategy was presented to the press on 23 September by Federal Finance Minister Blümel and the Head of the OECD Berlin Centre Nicola Brandt with remarks by the OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann, EU Commissioner for financial services Mairead McGuinness and DG REFORM Director General Mario Nava. It was officially adopted by the Council of Ministers in its 29 September session Speech by the OECD Secretary-General (DE) (English text)

In line with the OECD Council Recommendation on Financial Literacy, which advocates actively reporting and publicising the results of the preparatory phase of a national strategy, this report is published and intended not only for relevant stakeholders across government, independent authorities, not-for-profit and private sectors, but also for the general public. |
