“It could be that you want to teach the society a kind of behavior that you feel will help the economy and that is what we are doing here today. Savings is a culture that any economy that will survive must have in their numbers.

“Savings is not what you put in an account after you have spent all your money on expenses, which is what a lot of people do. Where savings culture thrive is where people understand that to save must be a deliberate action. It is where you have a specific amount that you put away every month.” He concluded.
