CECA has in its DNA a history tied to savings and social commitment, dating back to 1928, when the association was officially established. Proof of this is the active participation in initiatives such as Financial Education Day in Spain, or World Savings Day, which not only contribute to raising awareness about saving, but also seek to disseminate financial culture.
For this reason, on the occasion of World Savings Day, Vozpópuli spoke to Alberto Aza, spokesperson for the Spanish Confederation of Savings Banks (CECA). 'The founding origin of CECA and its member entities is to disseminate the importance of savings, and it is still as relevant today as it was then through financial education', acknowledges Aza.
This initiative aims to highlight the importance of saving, which, in the words of CECA's spokesperson, is 'a fundamental macroeconomic variable'. 'An adequate savings rate is a trigger for economic growth. By maintaining healthy savings, individuals can meet goals, plan for retirement and have a more dignified future. Savings help individuals to better realise their potential', explains Aza.
