History of the National Strategy
We (the FSA) lead this strategy. It brings together interested parties from industry, consumer bodies, voluntary organisations, government and the media – all aiming to find ways to improve the nation’s knowledge and understanding of personal finance.
One of the four objectives that Parliament has set the FSA is to promote public understanding of the financial system, and one of our strategic aims is to ensure that customers achieve a fair deal. As part of our work to deliver against these, in Autumn 2003, we brought together a partnership of key people and organisations in government, the financial services industry, employers, trades unions, and the educational and voluntary sectors. Together we have established a road map for delivering a step change in the financial capability of the UK population.
