On Friday, October 10, FSMA Chairman Jean-Paul Servais and the Wikifin team welcomed Rob Beenders, Minister of Consumer Protection, the fight against Social Fraud, Persons with Disabilities and Equal Opportunities, to the Wikifin Lab in Brussels. Together with the enthusiastic pupils from GO! Next Level X in Hasselt, the Minister explored the interactive journey offered by the Wikifin Lab.
Through his visit, the Minister highlighted the importance of financial education as a key element of consumer protection.
The Wikifin Lab is the FSMA’s financial education centre, where secondary school pupils engage with various everyday financial situations. Since its opening in 2020, more than 30,000 pupils have visited the Wikifin Lab, which is consistently fully booked.
