Seomin Financial Services Agency Provides Online Financial Education to 270,000 People Last Year
[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] The Korea Inclusive Finance Agency announced on the 28th that the number of participants in online financial education, which was activated last year due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), increased by 94.9% compared to the same period last year, reaching 271,730 people.
According to the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency, although face-to-face education decreased by about 65% compared to the previous year due to COVID-19, online education expanded sixfold. This is the result of mandating financial education for users of newly launched inclusive financial products such as Haetsal Loan Youth and Korea Student Aid Foundation student loans, and discovering new education targets in collaboration with local governments and the Child Rights Protection Agency.
