Financial Literacy: A Wealth of Knowledge to Share
In China, infrastructure projects play a vital role in driving the nation's development, relying heavily on the labor force provided by countless construction workers. These workers often come from humble rural backgrounds, juggling responsibilities of providing for elderly parents and nurturing young children. They toil hard, save diligently, sacrificing their time away from home to support family needs and fund their loved ones' education.
Living far from familiar surroundings, they are immersed in an unfamiliar environment that isolates them from the rest of society. As such, construction workers often find themselves vulnerable to financial frauds due to a lack of awareness about external information and inadequate understanding of financial matters.
To address this concern, particularly among workers engaged in Belt and Road Initiative projects characterized by exted durations and confined working environments compared to conventional engineering projects, HSBC has launched a comprehensive financial literacy program. This initiative empower these individuals with essential financial knowledge, protecting their earnings while also enhancing their resilience agnst potential economic hazards.
To foster deep-rooted financial awareness amongst the workforce, HSBC collaborated with non-governmental organizations NGOs in developing sitcoms that engage and educate audiences through relatable content. These programs have sparked a newfound interest among participants by illustrating the reality of earning without shortcuts; they underscore the importance of practicality in making money.

These initiatives have benefited millions of individuals across urban and rural areas alike, including children and youth, university students, community elders, workers, among others.
