HSBC, Kenan Foundation Asia, and EECO launched "MoneyWise in EEC," a financial literacy and cyber security awareness program targeting 400+ factory workers in Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor. The initiative addresses two critical issues: high household debt levels and surging online fraud (170,000+ cases in first half of 2025 with 9 billion baht in damages). Financial stress reduces worker productivity by 7 hours per week per employee, while effective financial wellness programs can boost work focus by up to 84%. The program delivers practical training on budgeting, debt management, and cyber threat prevention through on-site and hybrid workshops, positioning improved worker financial security as a key competitive advantage for attracting foreign investment to the EEC region.
