Le Wiki­fin Lab de la FSMA : l’ancrage phy­sique de l’éducation finan­cière en Bel­gique

The FSMA (Financial Services and Markets Authority) is one of the two supervisory authorities for the financial sector in Belgium, whose mandate also includes contributing to the financial education of the public. As part of this task, it recently created a financial education centre that is unique in its kind: the Wikifin Lab. This is an experience centre that welcomes secondary school groups, free of charge, for a visit that enables students to undergo a truly interactive and fully digital experience of financial education centred on various themes relating to budget management. The Wikifin Lab meets the objectives of official school curricula and intends to equip young people to take charge of their financial future. Since the launch of the Wikifin Lab in September 2020 in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Mathilde of Belgium and of political representatives, requests for visits have been pouring in.
