Amid today's growing financial uncertainty, there is increasing recognition that financial literacy is a life skill that is needed in every country and at all levels of society to help alleviate poverty and reduce risks associated with consumerism, market speculation and economic cycles. In China and elsewhere, there is also increasing recognition that financial capability can contribute to economic growth, market stability and social harmony.

The Citi-FT Financial Education Summit 2008 will showcase many of the most progressive and effective financial education initiatives from around the world.

• Learn about the most innovative and progressive programmes currently being implemented

• Examine the methodologies and tools for improved impact assessment in financial education and other life-skills education fields

• Explore specific programmes targeting youth, mainstream consumers, marginalised communities, investors, and other key segments
