This figure has increased compared to the 2019 SNLIK results, namely the financial literacy index of 38.03 percent and the financial inclusion index of 76.19 percent. Based on this, BCA Life as a Financial Services Business Actor (PUJK) is again holding a financial literacy and sustainable insurance seminar, this time entitled “Buy Coffee or Chase Dreams?” and presenting financial experts as guest speakers.
In the seminar, BCA Life presented material regarding financial management based on a priority scale, preparing emergency funds, financial security by getting to know financial instruments, and understanding the importance of having insurance protection as a component in financial planning, as well as an overview of the job landscape in the financial services sector in particular life insurance.
