Description
Financial literacy enables individuals to plan for the future and build a secure financial foundation. Whether it's saving for education, homeownership, retirement, or emergencies, financial literacy equips individuals with the tools and strategies needed to set and achieve their long-term financial goals. By fostering a culture of saving and financial planning, financial literacy contributes to greater financial stability and resilience. Nepal has a significant portion of its population who are unbanked or under banked, lacking access to basic financial services. Financial literacy initiatives can promote financial inclusion by raising awareness about the benefits of banking, encouraging savings behavior, and facilitating access to financial products tailored to the needs of underserved populations. This can help empower marginalized communities and promote inclusive economic growth. Moreover, financial literacy is not just a personal skill; it is a catalyst for individual empowerment, economic development, and social progress in Nepal. By investing in financial education initiatives and promoting widespread financial literacy, Nepal can unlock the potential of its people and build a more prosperous and equitable society.
