A bid to boost money know-how

The National Strategy for Financial Capability brings together more than 100 organisations to teach Kiwis financial literacy.

The scheme has a three year plan to demystify money for the public -- with special attention for women, Maori and Pasifika.

It follows six months of talks led by the Commission for Financial Capability.

Commercial, non-profit and government agencies, major banks, insurance companies, iwi and financial advisers were included.
