Financial Information Month 2025: Plan for Uncertainty, Prepare to Prosper

The month of October is being observed as Financial Information Month (FIM) across the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) under the theme “Financial Investing from Savers to Investor.”

This annual initiative, spearheaded by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) in collaboration with financial and governmental institutions, seeks to promote greater financial awareness and empower citizens to make informed decisions about managing their personal and business finances.

Now in its 23rd year, the campaign continues to emphasize the importance of financial resilience, planning, and adaptability—particularly in a global climate marked by economic shifts and uncertainties. Through educational activities, public discussions, and outreach programs, FIM encourages individuals, families, and businesses to adopt sound financial habits such as budgeting, saving, investing, and preparing for unforeseen challenges.

According to the ECCB, the focus for 2025 is on helping citizens understand how proactive financial planning can lead to greater security and long-term prosperity. The initiative also highlights the role of innovation and technology in modern financial management.

Across the region, financial institutions, schools, and community groups are expected to host various activities to mark the observance, all aimed at fostering a culture of financial responsibility and empowerment among Eastern Caribbean citizens.
