Financial education initiatives in Argentina

Overview

In Argentina, legislative efforts to integrate financial education into the national secondary school curriculum began with a proposal by National Deputy Diógenes González. The bill aims to amend the National Education Law to include training in money management, personal finance, and consumer rights to help students navigate complex financial markets and promote responsible debt management.

Following these legislative moves, practical educational initiatives emerged. The Fundación Banco Formosa and the provincial Ministry of Culture and Education completed a training program for teachers via the Integral Financial Education Program (PIEF). Minister Julio Araoz noted that the program is a response to high levels of family debt caused by the socioeconomic crisis.

Recent efforts in Argentina have expanded through private and academic partnerships. Banco Galicia, Eidos Global, and the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) launched ‘Finanzas a Mano’, a free virtual course aimed at teaching savings and money management to various communities, including Escuela 718 in Rada Tilly. Furthermore, Banco Galicia reported that its involvement in the Sustainable Finance Protocol has reached over 167,000 young people through various financial education programs, resulting in increased knowledge regarding savings and financial products.
