Focus on financial education 2026

Financial education is a key issue for Germany’s future stability. Right now, Germany is facing demo-graphic changes, an increased cost of living and structural pressure on social security systems. Financial competence will play a decisive role in guaranteeing equal opportunities, financial provisions and overall economic stability. It is a key factor in Germany’s future, and so we must establish it as a core component of society in 2026 - if we do not, structural deficits will get steadily worse. Now, in 2026, is the time to kick-start broad measures for improving financial education. To succeed, the state as well as public and private institutions must work together on financial education initiatives.
