To further its goal to achieve a financially developed and vibrant
Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU), the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) spearheads the
implementation of a financial education programme. The programme
is built on two main pillars:
(i) Maintenance of a strong EC dollar,
and
(ii) The OECS single financial space
The objectives of the programme are:
To facilitate understanding of money matters
and the importance of investing
To mobilise public discussion on economic and financial matters
To create awareness and interest in financial developments
and mobilise the public to take advantage of the investment
opportunities in the ECCU.

Financial Information Month (FIM) is celebrated in October each year in the ECCU. The Month forms part of an ECCU public education programme coordinated by the ECCB. The programme promotes awareness and understanding of general financial and economic issues, that is, functional financial and economic literacy among the citizens. It incorporates a series of initiatives designed to support the attainment of the goal of “a financially developed and vibrant ECCU region that fosters strong and sustainable economic growth and the improved well-being of the citizenry.”
During the month, the Bank, in collaboration with financial institutions, Ministries of Education and Finance, the media and community groups, implements various educational initiatives aimed at preparing citizens to make financial decisions that can result in an improvement in their quality of life.
