Nov 14 2024, 16h30-18h30 CET - Financial Inclusion
By Stefan Buciuc (BCR Social Finance IFN SA/ERSTE Group)
Financial education is a tool that empowers individuals and businesses to make informed decisions, secure financial stability, and contribute to the overall economy. In Romania, the importance of financial literacy has grown as individuals and businesses face increasingly complex financial products, or struggle with financial management challenges in a rapidly evolving market.
For individuals, this often leads to difficulties in managing savings, understanding loans, and planning while for businesses, especially startups and SMEs, poor financial knowledge can result in mismanagement of cash flow, underutilization of available financial tools, and missed growth opportunities.
In this presentation, we will explore how BCR Social Finance includes financial education in its support for micro and small businesses, communities and education and what is the impact of our approach on the business environment.
