The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and ACT Global are launching a four-year partnership to collect and analyse data on levels of financial literacy among adults in ten countries: Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, and Ukraine.
ACT Global will conduct nationally representative surveys in each participating country. The data will provide evidence-based insights to guide the development and implementation of national financial literacy strategies, helping governments identify gaps, track progress, and design policies to better equip individuals and small businesses to navigate financial products and risks.
The initiative is part of the OECD/INFE Technical Assistance Project for Financial Education (2023–2027), supported by the Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands. Through this collaboration, the OECD and ACT Global aim to generate actionable knowledge that supports inclusive and sustainable economic growth, while enhancing financial education for millions of people across the region.
