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.
