What is the National Strategy for Financial Capability?

The FSA lead this strategy.

It brings together interested parties from industry, consumer bodies, voluntary organisations, government and the media – all aiming to find ways to improve the nation’s knowledge and understanding of personal finance.

Why are the FSA doing it?

  • People are, more than ever before, being asked to take responsibility for managing their finances.
  • This is an area that people can find daunting and confusing, particularly if they are struggling to manage debt or meet other commitments.
  • The number and complexity of choices to be made has increased dramatically over the last 25 years.
  • Many consumers do not have access to face-to-face financial advice.
  • Meanwhile, the comforting arm of the State or employers is being steadily withdrawn.

The National Strategy for Financial Capability has an overall vision of achievement:

‘We share a vision of better informed, educated and more confident citizens, able to take greater responsibility for their financial affairs and play a more active role in the market for financial services.’
