Abstract

MoneyMinded was first introduced as a pilot project in Fiji
in 2010 in collaboration with a variety of public, private
as well as non-government sector organisations. From
2011to 2013, 3,433 individuals from these organisations
as well as a number of ANZ employees participated in
the MoneyMinded program to build their financial skills,
knowledge and confidence.

Results from the survey conducted by the University of the
South Pacific to understand the impact of the pilot program
reveal that the majority of respondents reported that they
feel more satisfied with their life, less stressed about the future and better able to provide for their family. Most respondents report that they now pay their bills on time and save to buy items rather than buy them on credit.

MoneyMinded has also generated social benefits which
extend beyond the immediate participants. Almost all
respondents indicate that through the program, they have
learnt from fellow participants, met new people and feel
more connected with the community. More importantly, all
respondents report that they have encouraged their family
members to save after MoneyMinded and shared other
aspects of the program with their family and friends.
