Financial literacy programs making grade?

US - If financial literacy programs are to succeed, more research is needed on their success rate, Federal Reserve Governor Edward M. Gramlich said Thursday.

Surveys show that knowledgeable consumers "are more likely to behave in financially responsible ways," he said.
