Centre for Financial Literacy

The Centre for Financial Literacy helps the Retirement Commission achieve its function of providing education and information to help New Zealanders prepare financially for retirement.

In line with the National Strategy the Centre aims to:

  1. ensure financial education reaches more people
  2. extend the delivery of financial education
  3. share what works and improve evaluation of financial education

It achieves this through research, evaluation, compilation of educational initiatives, and promotion of these.
 

Home of the National Strategy for Financial Literacy

A key platform of the Centre is the implementation of the National Strategy for Financial Literacy. The strategy sets the strategic direction, links providers of financial education and information, identifies gaps in coverage and avoids duplication. The Centre is the ‘home’ of the National Strategy.


The ANZ-Retirement Commission Financial Knowledge Survey
 
The ANZ-Retirement Commission Financial Knowledge Survey measures the financial knowledge levels of New Zealanders aged 18 and over.

The findings are used to help target financial education programmes. Over time, the results will contribute to measuring the effectiveness of financial education in New Zealand.

Surveys have been conducted in 2006 and 2009, and it is intended to repeat the survey every three to four years.
