During last week’s @WorldBankGroup-@IMFNews Spring Meetings, I hosted a key panel on Financial Literacy on behalf of the United States @g20org Presidency. Alongside World Bank Group President Ajay Banga, @UNSGSA Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, and Finance Minister @satsukikatayama of Japan, I highlighted the central role of Financial Literacy as part of the United States’ G20 Finance Track. In today’s world, Financial Literacy is a necessity, and the Trump Administration is taking innovative steps to bring hands-on financial education to the American people. @POTUS has taken bold action to make financial literacy accessible to all Americans by creating @TrumpAccounts, and seeing these assets grow over time will instill patience, discipline, and a sense of ownership in one’s future for the next generation of Americans. Under the United States’ G20 Presidency, @USTreasury will sponsor a Financial Literacy Solutions Sprint to expand access to scalable, tech-driven financial education. Watch our full discussion below.
