Abstract

Financial literacy measures how much one comprehends key money-related financial concepts through appropriate short-term decision-making. Financial literacy is the essential information individuals need to make due in modern society. Environmental issues like regional differences and economic systems can affect financial literacy. Several other studies have considered the relationship between financial literacy and financial behaviour. Financial literacy is an essential determinant of financial behaviour in developing countries; financial literacy is also associated with increased equity ownership, low-cost mortgages, and retirement planning behaviour.
