Focus Year 2026 for Financial Education: Perspectives from Germany and Europe
24th of March 2026

Recording

Financial literacy is a key determinant of individual opportunities, retirement preparedness, and overall economic stability, especially in times of profound economic, technological, and demographic change.

What does it take to ensure that financial knowledge truly reaches all citizens?

And what lessons and impulses can be drawn from the European landscape?

Our moderator, Sarah Schmidtke, will discuss these questions with our guests:

  • Lutz Lienenkämper, Executive Board Member of Deutsche Bundesbank
  • Gerhard Wiesheu, Spokesman of the Management Board of B. Metzler seel. Sohn & Co. AG and Banking Association Lead Sponsor for Financial Education

Look forward to inspiring insights, clear perspectives, and a look beyond national borders.
