A discussion on ways to boost financial education to realize the government's "productive and inclusive finance" was held at the National Assembly on the 13th.
The Senior Financial Education Council and Finance and Happiness Network held the 2026 National Assembly forum at 10 a.m. on the day in the No. 1 small conference room of the National Assembly Members' Office Building under the theme "Plans to promote financial education for a great transition to productive and inclusive finance."
The forum was organized on the premise that education to strengthen the public's financial capabilities is necessary for the "productive finance and inclusive finance" put forward by the Lee Jae-myung administration to fulfill its role. The event was co-hosted by National Assembly members Lee In-young, Min Byeong-deok, and Kim Nam-geun of the National Policy Committee. About 100 people, including executives in charge at each financial association and financial institution and financial education experts, attended the event.
Jeong Un-yeong, chair of the Finance and Happiness Network, who took part in the forum, presented "Plans to promote financial education for a great transition to productive and inclusive finance." The following discussion was chaired by Kim Yong-gi, head of the Productive and Inclusive Finance Research Association, and featured experts representing government, the private sector, corporations, and academia, including Moon Jae-hee (Financial Supervisory Service), Park Jeong-hoon (Woori Finance Research Institute), Yu Seung-dong (Sangmyung University), Oh Yeong-hwan (Senior Financial Education Council), An Jun-sang (Social Solidarity Bank), and Lee Su-min (Dunamu).
Oh Yeong-hwan, secretary-general of the Senior Financial Education Council, which organized the forum, said, "I hope this forum will not be a one-off discussion but will serve as an opportunity to establish concrete collaborative models for financial education that can lead to results in the field."
Lee Su-min, head of impact business at Dunamu, said, "As financial participation methods are changing rapidly with digital transformation and the spread of AI and Blockchain, financial education must also evolve into an execution model suited to platform environments," adding, "We should recognize financial education not as mere social contribution but as part of the platform trust infrastructure, and create a sustainable inclusive finance ecosystem through a structure in which the public and private sectors participate as co-designers."
