On February 25, the President of the Central Bank of San Marino (BCSM), Catia Tomasetti, and the Head of International Relations, paid an official visit to the Banque de France, dedicated to themes of cooperation in financial education.

The San Marino delegation was received by Gaëlle Albert and Édouard Gomet, representing the Financial Education Directorate of the Banque de France, with whom they held an in-depth discussion on their respective experiences and institutional priorities in this field.

The meeting took place in a climate of productive collaboration, confirming the Banque de France's commitment to facilitating the exchange of experiences and knowledge to consolidate the BCSM's financial education program, which is of increasing importance to San Marino in light of the ongoing European integration process.

Financial education represents, in fact, an essential element for promoting broader economic awareness, supporting informed decision-making by citizens and families, and contributing, more generally, to financial stability and inclusion. Furthermore, a particularly relevant aspect for BCSM, financial education allows for the strengthening of the financial skills of women and more vulnerable categories, for whom access to adequate tools for knowledge and awareness constitutes a decisive factor for economic autonomy, active participation in social life, and the reduction of inequalities. In this perspective, financial education is not only a lever for stability but also a tool for equity and social cohesion, and can also constitute an element in the prevention of gender-based violence.

The Central Bank of San Marino wishes to express its gratitude to the Banque de France for the quality of the exchange and for the willingness shown to continue the dialogue on the topics discussed during the meeting.
