"Financial education is extremely important, especially for young people. A sound knowledge of financial matters is key to a self-determined, independent life," said Andreas Dressel, Senator for Finance. Emphasis is on asset building, financial psychology and the basics of personal finance. "The more women take control of their finances, the more equality and empowerment is promoted in society as a whole," Dressel added.
