The Commission for Financial
Literacy and Retirement income
takes a lifetime approach to
educating and informing New
Zealanders about managing
personal finances. The Commission’s
work, through education,
information and encouragement,
is vital to New Zealand’s retirement
income framework and in creating
personal financial wellbeing for all
Kiwis.
Monitoring issues contributing
to the Government’s retirement
income policy is a significant part
of the Commission’s role, but its
primary focus is on empowering
Kiwis to make better decisions about
their money throughout their lives,
so that when they reach retirement
they are in the best possible
financial position.
The Commission’s main activities
include:
•
•
Motivating Kiwis from 5 to 105 to
manage their personal finances
throughout life by providing
free, independent and impartial
information. An integral part of
this activity is the Commission’s
Sorted programme.
•
•
Driving the National Strategy
for Financial Literacy which is
supported by many individuals
and organisations across the
public, private and voluntary
sectors, and co-ordinating a
network of financial literacy
providers and sponsors.
•
•
Collecting research on, and
analysis of, retirement planning
behaviour and attitudes that aid
development of national policies
impacting on retirement income.
•
•
Carrying out a three-yearly review
of retirement income policy.
•
•
A minor monitoring role under
the Retirement Villages Act.
