Abstract: Without public trust, central banks lose their ability to instil confidence in their policies and garner support for their independence. This article looks at one of the initiatives used by the Bank of England to boost public understanding and build public trust: developing an education programme for school‑age children to help equip them with the knowledge and tools they need to engage with the economy and the Bank of England. Building trust takes time. We must continue to monitor the gaps in public understanding, particularly for young people, and respond with appropriate tools and interventions to fill those gaps.
