FIM FESTIVAL 2022

The area of focus for the 2022 FIM (Financial Information Month) Festival is: Financial Advancement Through Enlightenment, Partnerships and Balance!

The activities for the month will zoom in on some of the following sub-themes in the various member countries:

1. Cash or App: the reason behind online applications, the benefits and the pitfalls.

2. Plan to Un-Plan: it is important to plan but because no one is in total control of what is happening in socially, financially or economically, it is important that plans are flexible and can be adjusted based on new information and new developments.

3. Go Fund You: how inadequate health insurance coverage can make one a public liability.

4. 60 Is The New 40: live social media discussion on retirement planning and the new wave of young retirees with financial commitments.

5. Working for you means working for all: Benefits of Entrepreneurship: The benefits of entrepreneurship extend beyond the owners and the businesses they establish. Entrepreneurship impacts the lives of individuals, communities and the entire economy by extension.

6. Grow your wealth! Protect your financial health: Talking about Investments in Securities: Investing in securities can provide us with another source of income, fund our retirement or even get us out of a financial emergency. Furthermore, investing grows our wealth, helps us meet our financial goals and increases our purchasing power over time.

7. How Much Do You Know? Cryptocurrencies – the Risks and Benefits: Cryptocurrencies are increasingly popular alternatives for online payments. But before converting your real dollars into a symbol, you should understand what cryptocurrencies are, what the risks are in using them, and how to protect your investment.

8. Financial Awareness: Minding your Social Media Business - In today’s commercial environment, Social Media can cut both ways in the success of a business. The ways in which the social media platforms are used must be well managed to get the best benefits as well as to prevent the pitfalls of misuse, or lack of awareness.

9. Finding the Balance: A healthier wealthier YOU depends upon YOU - One of the most valuable life goals is to achieve the right balance of a physical, social, mental and financial lifestyle.  This is easier to think about and agree to than to successfully apply it to our individual lifestyles.

10. We Grow Together: Building Bridges to Financial Success. The total growth of a business, leading to its success, is the sum of many parts. These parts are connected on various levels, from foundation to the pinnacle of financial success.

11. Enlightenment: A focus on technology – what technological tools do businesses currently offer to customers to improve effectiveness and efficiency.

12. Balance: Balancing insurance, risk management planning, safety nets and security, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
