MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The best performers were the Netherlands (43%), Denmark (40%), Finland (40%) and Estonia (39%) where about four in 10 respondents display a high level of financial knowledge.
While the scores of France and Italy were slightly below the EU average, this figure was noticeably low in Spain at 19%.
Proportion answering this question correctly ("Less than you could buy today") was below 60% in Cyprus, Portugal, Greece, Romania, and Italy whereas Finland and Estonia had the highest share at 84%.
The proportion with a high score varied between from 11% in Portugal and Latvia to 27% in Denmark, Slovenia and Sweden, and 28% in the Netherlands.
To illustrate, when participants were asked whether they keep track and monitor their expenses, only 16% in Finland replied, "completely agree".
The EU is working to ensure that its citizens have the knowledge and skills they need to make good financial decisions.
