The role of AEF-Brasil in the execution of the National Strategy for Financial Education
Convinced of the importance of financial education to the solidity of the financial system and the quality of life of Brazilian society, four institutions representing the financial market instituted AEF-Brasil in 2012, geared towards elevating this cause to the level of the most pressing causes in Brazil. They are: ANBIMA (Brazilian Financial and Capital Markets Association),B3 (Brazil Stock Exchange and Over-the-Counter Market), CNSeg (National Confederation of Companies of General Insurance, Private Pension, Life, Supplementary Health Insurance, and Capitalization Insurance) and FEBRABAN (Brazilian Federation of Banks). Allowing financial education to reach every Brazilian means leveraging equal opportunities for autonomous and healthy financial decisions in their lives, thereby bolstering citizenship. By developing these projects, AEF-Brasil has contributed and continues to contribute to social and economic development and, especially, to the exercise of full citizenship and the practice of democracy.
