G20 ITALIAN PRESIDENCY SUPPORT

This year’s GMW campaign benefited from the support of the G20 Italian Presidency. The G20 Italian Presidency logo was featured on the GMW website to showcase the support of the G20 Presidency for the campaign. This year’s GMW’s theme and focus on financial resilience also aligned with the G20 Italian Presidency priorities: People, Planet, Prosperity. The G20 priorities highlight how the pandemic has had profound impacts on the health and livelihoods of people. While a challenge, the crisis is also an opportunity to build back better, for more resilient, sustainable and greener societies.

The G20 Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion (GPFI) co-chairs also actively participated in GMW related activities. Magda Bianco, Head of the Consumer Protection and Financial Education Department at the Bank of Italy and co-chair of the GPFI, highlighted that financial and economic literacy are essential tools for the empowerment of young people in her intervention during the Global Launch of GMW 2021.
