On 25 February, Ms Catia Tomasetti, President of the Central Bank of the Republic of San Marino (CBSM), together with Mr Giuliano Battistini, the Head of International Relations, paid an official visit to Banque de France to explore avenues of cooperation in the field of financial education.

The Sammarinese delegation was received by Ms Gaëlle Albert and Mr Édouard Gomet, representing the Financial Education Directorate in the French central bank. The meeting provided an opportunity for an in-depth exchange of views on respective institutional experiences, strategic priorities and ongoing initiatives in this area.

Discussions took place in a constructive and forward-looking spirit, confirming Banque de France’s commitment to sharing expertise and best practices in order to support the further development of CBSM’s financial education programme. This ultimate objective is to increase San Marino’s ongoing European integration process and the progressive strengthening of relations with EU supervisory authorities.

Financial education is key to promoting greater economic awareness, enabling informed decision-making by citizens and households, and contributing to financial stability and inclusion. It is also a strategic instrument for strengthening the financial capabilities of women and vulnerable groups, for whom access to adequate knowledge and awareness is essential to foster economic autonomy, active community participation and the reduction of inequalities. In this perspective, financial education serves not only as a lever for stability, but also as a driver of equity and social cohesion, and may contribute to the prevention of gender-based violence.

The Central Bank of San Marino expresses its sincere appreciation to Banque de France for the excellent dialogue and its readiness to further develop cooperation in the areas discussed.
