Plan Your Global Money Week

Global Money Week 2025 will be held between 17 and 23 March 2025. You can start already to plan your GMW, by getting in touch with your national coordinator. 

More details on the theme of GMW2025 and resources as well as preparatory webinars, will be shared soon by the GMW Secretariat. 

How does Global Money Week Campaign work?
In brief, organisations across the world organise their own GMW events during the Week, and share news, photos and information with the GMW Secretariat. News of all these activities are linked to each other via social media, and the GMW website.

How to plan Global Money Week in your country?

• Explore GMW website for country overviews, available resources and inspiring ideas for your GMW.
• If you would like to organise a GMW activity in your country, please get in touch with your GMW National Coordinator. You can find the list of the current GMW National Coordinating institutions here. If no GMW National Coordinator is listed for your country, please get in touch with the GWM Secretariat.
• If you are a public institution that is already an OECD/INFE full or regular member, you may take the lead of GMW in your country, identifying goals you wish to achieve, engaging partners you wish you collaborate with, and coordinating the activities of all stakeholders in your country. Get in touch with the GMW Secretariat to let us know if you would like to coordinate GMW in your country.
• If you are not a public institution or not an OECD/INFE full or regular member, check if there is one in your country and get in touch with them so that you can all coordinate to achieve higher impact.
• If there is no OECD/INFE full or regular member institutions in your country, but your institution would like to join, get in touch with our team, so that we can support you through the process.
• Collaborate with a range of organisations and institutions to plan GMW branded events and activities. Share your plans with the GMW Secretariat!

GMW national coordinators
GMW national coordinators are full or regular OECD/INFE members. You can find the list of the current GMW National Coordinating institutions here. In countries where no OECD/INFE full or regular member exists, public authorities are invited to take the leading role in the coordination of the GMW campaign. Please get in touch with the GMW Secretariat if you are interested in coordinating GMW in your country. GMW national coordinators are expected to carry out the following tasks, if possible and appropriate, according to national circumstances:

• Ex-ante coordination: identifying GMW initiatives planned in the home country by public, private and non-profit institutions, encouraging coordination among involved parties, and reporting expected GMW activities in the country to the GMW Secretariat through the pre-form;
• Promoting participation in GMW at country level, by encouraging potentially interested institutions to join;
• Being the focal point at country level for information requests by interested or participating institutions about GMW and for communications with the GMW Secretariat;
• Liaising and communicating with private sector participants, if any, to clarify that their initiatives should not contain commercial messages;
• Ex-post coordination: collecting information about activities implemented during the GMW in the home country and reporting back to the GMW Secretariat through ex-post forms.

High-level guidance on the involvement of the private and not-for-profit sector in GMW
Participation of private and not-for-profit stakeholders in Global Money Week should:

• Be aligned and coordinated with public authorities-led strategies and programmes. Participation through national industry associations or self-regulatory bodies may be preferable to individual organisations’ participation;
• Comply with principles or codes of conduct on the involvement of private and not-for-profit stakeholders in financial education, where such principles or codes of conduct exist;
• Clearly avoid commercial activities, ensuring there is no promotion of specific financial products and/or services aimed either at young people or their parents, tutors etc.;
• Leverage and use financial literacy programmes or educational resources that are impartial, objective, of high quality and fair.
