CFPB Issues Financial Literacy Annual Report

DEC 23, 2019

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau) issued its Financial Literacy Annual Report for fiscal year 2019.

The Bureau delivered its digital and print resources to more than 12 million consumers in fiscal year 2019.  Promoting savings has also been a key part of the agency’s work. The Bureau launched Start Small, Save Up, an initiative to encourage the public to save and be better prepared for emergencies or unplanned expenditures. As part of the initiative, the Bureau launched a Savings Boot Camp, a multi-week email course to guide people through the fundamentals of savings.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Bureau to report on its work to provide consumers with information to make informed decisions about financial products.
