Tunisia's Financial Market Council boosts financial education with Banque de France partnership

Tunisia's Financial Market Council (CMF) is enhancing its financial education programs through a renewed partnership with the Banque de France. Two new agreements have been signed with the French central bank's financial education directorate (Educfi) to offer the Tunisian public updated educational materials focused on economics and personal finance management.

This collaboration allows the CMF to utilize resources developed by the Banque de France, including the audiovisual series "Les ABC de l’économie" (The ABCs of Economics) and the "Cahiers financiers" (Financial Notebooks) from the "Mes questions d’argent" (My Money Questions) portal. These materials will be provided free of charge to the Tunisian regulator, who can then adapt, translate, and contextualize them for national relevance. Initial adaptations of content from "Les ABC de l’économie" are already underway.

The primary goal of these initiatives is to make economic and financial concepts more accessible to a broad audience, thereby fostering a stronger financial culture in Tunisia. The CMF aims to equip citizens with the knowledge needed to make better decisions regarding budgeting, saving, investing, and wealth management. Special attention will be given to young people, with programs designed to guide new generations in understanding money management and the economic environment through age-appropriate materials.

This partnership also represents a significant step in the CMF's international cooperation efforts. By leveraging the expertise and resources developed in financial education abroad, the CMF seeks to enrich its own awareness campaigns. Once adapted to the Tunisian context, the content will be published on the CMF's official website, broadening public access to free educational resources and expanding the reach of initiatives promoting better financial literacy and responsible financial practices.
