Transmitting this knowledge to Mexicans becomes a fundamental issue and to achieve it requires joint efforts by the government, social organizations and financial and educational institutions, because given the different profiles and needs of users of financial services, there cannot be unique strategies, but rather specific actions for each segment of the population.
And that is where initiatives such as the National Financial Education Week (SNEF) of the National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Users of Financial Services (CONDUSEF) come into action, bringing together dozens of institutions every year and strengthening this collaboration between the different actors in the financial life of the country, which will allow progress towards the main objective: to promote financial education.
