The Wales Financial Capability Strategy is embedded into the Welsh Government’s financial inclusion strategy and has wider links across the programme for government.

A Wales forum is working together to identify the key priorities and actions in the Wales Financial Capability Strategy, such as:

  • increase the uptake of advice services, particularly among families with children and among older people
  • increase and share learnings from interventions that help people to build financial resilience
  • make sure all financial education in Wales is consistent in all learning environments, for all learners
  • evaluate financial capability interventions in Wales in a way that helps us identify what works well.

Wales Strategy in detail

A key aim of The Strategy will be to listen to and understand more fully the differing capabilities of, or barriers faced by, young adults in order to enable more effective, sustainable and engaging financial capability approaches to be developed.
