Overview
The International Finance Olympiad (IFO) is an international-level competition for school students aged 13 to 17. It is aimed at promoting financial literacy from an early age. The competition uses a gamified, interactive format to make money concepts fun and engaging. With increasing exposure to digital payments, online banking and financial products from a young age, there is a growing need to educate students on saving, budgeting, investing ,insurance, and cyber risk. IFO addresses this gap by offering a fun and engaging competition where students learn real world finance through quizzes, case studies, and rewards.
