Financial Education in Tunisia: A New Partnership Between the Financial Market Council (CMF) and the Bank of France
The Financial Market Council (CMF) and the Bank of France are taking their partnership to the next level to strengthen financial education in Tunisia. Following the signing of a convention in May 2025 with the Financial Education Department "EDUCFI", a CMF delegation visited Paris to define common actions and tools adapted to the Tunisian context.
Key Areas of Cooperation
This mission enabled the identification of several concrete areas of cooperation:
- Sharing Expertise: The Bank of France will share its expertise on implementing educational programs for the general public, young people, and entrepreneurs. Learning modules inspired by the French portal "Mes questions d'argent" will be adapted for Tunisia to help citizens better understand savings management, credit, and financial investments.
- National Financial Education Platform: The CMF plans to develop a national financial education platform, based on the recommendations and experience of EDUCFI. This platform will provide educational resources, interactive simulators, and explanatory videos accessible to the general public and schools.
- Training for Educators: With the technical support of the Bank of France, the CMF will set up workshops and training cycles to equip Tunisian educators with the necessary tools to integrate financial culture into their programs.
- Consumer Protection: The partnership will include regular exchanges between Tunisian and French experts on consumer protection mechanisms, in collaboration with the Prudential Control and Resolution Authority (ACPR). The goal is to strengthen market transparency and better inform savers about their rights.
A Long-Term Commitment to Financial Inclusion
By consolidating this partnership, the CMF confirms its ambition to build a genuine national financial culture. These actions are expected to improve Tunisians' relationship with money, encourage responsible savings management, and promote sustainable financial inclusion.
