Nicosia, Cyprus. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) said it has completed its participation in Global Money Week 2026 with a programme of activities delivered across Cyprus.
Programme activities across Cyprus
CySEC said the initiative included lectures in schools and universities, media engagements, a targeted social media campaign, and joint actions with key stakeholders.
Focus of Global Money Week 2026
Global Money Week is an initiative of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) aimed at strengthening financial literacy among young people. This year’s theme, Smart Money Talks, highlighted the importance of access to information, open dialogue, and critical thinking in financial decision-making within an increasingly complex economic environment.
Lectures and key topics
CySEC said it delivered lectures and presentations to students across Cyprus covering saving, budgeting, responsible consumption, understanding the value of money, and protection against financial risks and fraud. The material was presented in a practical and interactive manner, with emphasis on developing critical thinking skills to help young people evaluate information, identify misleading practices, and make informed financial decisions.
Continuation of lectures and educational materials
Following what it described as strong interest from educational institutions, CySEC said it will continue delivering lectures and presentations throughout May. It also said that, in collaboration with the Education Ministry, educational material was developed and distributed to schools and educators under the framework of the Cyprus Financial Literacy and Education Committee (CyFLEC), supporting the systematic enhancement of financial literacy within the educational community.
