  the financial crisis\, many educational initiatives have been launched 
 across the globe to improve the general public’s financial and economic

 e.g. consumer protection organisations) and other institutions have made
  considerable efforts to enhance the public’s understanding of macroecon
 omics and make them more aware of monetary and financial issues.\n\nCent

 ng economic and financial education\, including the Bundesbank\, whose r
