• Importance of financial education, consumer protection and competition
  11 July 2008, Querétaro, Mexico
  The OECD, jointly with Mexico’s Ministry of Finance and the Mexican Senate, hosted a conference on financial education, consumer protection and competition in the city of Querétaro. This high-level conference, attended by Mexico’s top policy makers, politicians and executives from financial institutions, explored the need to build a deeper Financial System because of its positive effects on economic growth and population’s wellbeing – a top priority expressed by President Calderon. In addressing this important issue, the conference focused on three primary issues: enhancing financial education, strengthening consumer protection and promoting competition. In this sense, the main objective of the conference was to establish a high-level dialogue centered on the OECD’s best practices in these three areas.
