FIM 2017 Retirement Symposium

About Financial Information Month

FIM 2017 Theme and Logo

Financial Information Month (FIM) is a regional financial,

economic, business and entrepreneurial education campaign

executed in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU)

since 2002. It is a collaborative effort of the Eastern Caribbean

Central Bank (ECCB), ECCU member governments, financial

and academic institutions, the media, other private and

public sector institutions and community based groups. FIM

forms part of an ECCU financial and economic education

programme coordinated by the ECCB. The programme

incorporates a series of initiatives designed to support the

attainment of the goal of “a financially developed and vibrant

ECCU region that fosters strong and sustainable economic

growth and the improved well-being of the citizenry.”

The theme is geared towards sensitising the public

on the realities of retirement for current and future

generations of retirees and providing information on

the actions they need to take now to help ensure a

good quality of life during their “golden years”. This

message is depicted in the logo which shows human

figures of increasing sizes walking along a colourful

pathway that ends with a pot of golden eggs. The human figures convey the message

that retirement planning should start from the first day of employment and continue

throughout one’s income earning years. The colourful pathway is an artistic interpretation

of a rainbow and plays on the adage that at the end of a rainbow there is a pot of gold. The

pot of golden eggs signifies that there are rewards to be gained from planning for retirement.
