The financial sector is vital to the economy. A well-functioning financial sector promotes job creation, innovation, and inclusive economic growth.

High bankruptcy rates, increased credit card debt, and identity theft make it imperative that all of us take an active role in providing financial and economic education during all stages of one's life.

The lesson of history is that you do not get a sustained economic recovery as long as the financial system is in crisis.

A dynamic economy begins with a good education.

Our goal is to make finance the servant, not the master, of the real economy.

At base, financial literacy is inextricably connected to control over one's future.
