Individuals cannot be financially literate and independent if they do not use the digital financial services available in the country. Digital financial literacy is an opportunity to make the economy stronger
What is more important, literacy or financial literacy? The Indian economy needs an answer to this question. In this dynamic, rapidly evolving, and unpredictable economy, acquiring adequate financial literacy is vital for every individual to succeed and grab new opportunities despite turbulence. As we head toward a developed economy, we must equip ourselves with financial knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviours to become financially literate.
