Our vision - financial literacy at all levels of society
Carol Yip's vision to educate the public on the necessity to understand their
financial behaviour in order to manage their money more effectively was
recently reinforced by a statement released by Governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar
Aziz of Bank Negara Malaysia, who announced that the bank will be setting up a
credit counselling debt management agency later this year to assist individuals
who are encountering difficulties in meeting their financial commitments.

Financial literacy will allow households to have the increased
confidence to make sound decisions regarding their consumption expenditure," she
said in her keynote address at Bank Negara's gala dinner in conjunction with the

Carol was engaged for the education project driven by the Central Bank of
Malaysia’s Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency ("AKPK")
to educate people about their finances. The personal financial education program
covers good behaviour and habits towards money, finance and debt management
skills, and how to identify personal financial path, among others. She is also
the co-writer of the "Money
$ense" book, published by AKPK.
Knowledge is
POWER ...
not money!
Money
attitudes
influence our behaviour,
aspirations
and emotional reactions
to
ourselves,
our families and
our friends.
Understanding
your money
style will help
you gain insight
into how and
why you react emotionally to
money, why
you have those reactions, and
how they affect
your financial success or lack
of success.
Carol Yip
was one of the speakers and panellist at the August 2007 "Retail
Financial Services" conference organised by The Asia Business Forum in
Singapore.
