About the Course
In 2016, Standard & Poor (S&P) found that only 25% of Filipino adults are financially literate, with over 75 million having no idea about insurance, inflation, and even the mere idea of savings accounts.1 Citing the study conducted by World Bank in 2015, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said, Filipino adults could correctly answer only 3 out of 7 financial literacy-related questions about basic numeracy, computing compounding interest, fundamentals of inflation, and investment diversification — only 2% of Filipino adults answered all questions correctly.2
