Press release 9 February 2023 2:00 PM

Responsible investment, the latest in monetary policy and Finland’s economic forecast all feature in the Bank of Finland Museum’s spring programme of evening events for the public

The Museum’s spring 2023 programme also includes a look at demographic change, the financial stability outlook and supervision of payday loan providers.

 

By arranging these types of events, the Bank of Finland aims to foster financial literacy among the public and to boost knowledge of financial markets. The aim is also to promote dialogue between the Bank and the general public.

 

These will be hybrid events, meaning they can be followed either in person at the Museum or live online. Each of the events starts at 17:00. They will be recorded and can be viewed afterwards on the Museum’s website.
