The CBS and the Financial Services Authority (FSA) commissioned a National Financial Literacy Baseline in 2016 and the development of the National Financial Education Strategy (NFES) in 2017. An in-depth diagnostic was undertaken during May 2017. The findings are captured in this report and form the basis of the NFES. The diagnostic comprised a consultative process with more than 40 stakeholders from government ministries, agencies and regulators, the private sector and civil society, as well as a review of secondary data and further analysis of the 2016 Baseline.
