Manage your money…Live your dreams
03.OCT.08
âManage your money…Live your dreamsâ is the theme for Financial Literacy Month October 2008. This theme serves to remind residents of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) that they can accomplish their dreams once their money is properly managed.{{more}}
A graphical representation of this yearâs theme portrays a cartoon character in the shape of a five-dollar EC note. It illustrates the possibilities that can be achieved once money is well managed.
During the month, a series of community activities will focus on âunderstanding budgets and financesâ, âmanaging and lowering debt costsâ, âsurviving tough financial timesâ and âmanaging money in retirementâ. These are expected to engender healthy money management practices among our people which will in turn help to achieve their lifeâs goals.
The decision to celebrate October as Financial Literacy Month was taken by ECCU member governments in 2002.
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank collaborates with member governments, financial institutions, private sector bodies, the media and community-based groups in the realisation of the month of activities.
