Global Money Week 2026 promotes financial literacy and ESG principles

The Global Money Week (GMW) took place between March 16 and 22, 2026, under the theme 'Smart Money Conversations.' The initiative aimed to enhance financial literacy among the younger generation, specifically Gen Z. Experts argue that modern financial decision-making should integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles to ensure sustainable wealth. This approach marks a shift from focusing exclusively on net profitability to prioritizing long-term economic resilience and ethical impact. The Cyprus Society of Financial Analysts supports these educational efforts, highlighting that younger investors view money as an extension of their personal values. The campaign emphasizes that financial education is essential for aligning investment choices with societal and environmental well-being.
