The creation of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development International Network on Financial Education (OECD/INFE) platform stemmed from the need to promote financial literacy. Comprising of central bankers and policy makers from over 125 countries, the OECD/INFE provides assistance on matters of design and implementation of country-specific financial education strategies and proposes innovative methods to ensure the effective roll out of financial literacy programmes.

The Bank of Mauritius has become a member of the OECD/INFE at a time where the Bank has initiated financial literacy programmes across Mauritius and Rodrigues in a view to disseminate understanding of core financial products and risks to consumers.
