“Save for your Future”. That’s the theme for Financial Literacy Month in October 2007 when citizens and residents of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union will be encouraged to improve their personal financial situation   by adopting a culture of saving.  

A graphical representation of this year’s theme portrays a man tending his financial garden so that it can continue to bear dollars to secure his future. 

It is intended to demonstrate that saving for one’s future requires consistent and focused application of sound money management principles, and that the financial victories do come, usually in incremental stages. 

During the month, a series of community activities will focus on “why save”, “how to save” and “ways to save”. 

These are expected to serve as a catalyst for the delivery of financial literacy programmes in the schools and wider communities.
