The Full Form of NSFE is National Strategy on Financial Education.

The work on national strategies for financial education was launched in 2009 as an integral part of the OECD project on financial education, as a complement to financial consumer protection and inclusion measures with a view to strengthening financial stability and development. It was particularly meant as a new policy tool to counter some of the lasting effects of the 2008 global financial crisis, while offering solutions to governments designing and  implementing financial education policies. The impressive increase in the number of governments which have adopted such nationally co-ordinated approaches to financial education testifies to its significance:

today almost 60 economies are implementing national strategies for financial education worldwide, compared to a handful in 2009.
