Global Money has been celebrated every year worldwide in coordination with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) since 2012. Nepal started to celebrate it in 2013 A.D. The ultimate goal of the Money Week campaign is to ensure that all children and young people have access to high-quality financial education, learn about money matters, and take smart financial decisions that can improve their future financial resilience and financial well-being.

The GMW2024 theme, “Protect your money, secure your future”, focuses on safe money management and highlights the importance of adopting a responsible and informed approach to personal finances, by being aware of potential risks in the financial sector and protecting one's hard-earned money. Such risks may include financial scams and frauds, including phishing, money laundering, and online shopping scams, and risks related to data privacy, such as identity theft. Young people are especially likely to fall victim to financial frauds and scams, due to their limited financial literacy and experience.

The GMW2024 Global Launch event took place in hybrid format on 18 March 2024 between 10:00 and 16:00 CET at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris.

This year, the Global Launch was organized in conjunction with the OECD/FinCoNet International Seminar “Tackling Financial Scams and Frauds”.
