The President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability (PACFC)
was created by Executive Order 13530, which was signed by President Barack
Obama on January 29, 2010. Its charter is to advise the President on promoting
and enhancing financial literacy and capability among the American people.
While the President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability cannot by
federal statute become operational, it is charged with providing financial
capability policy recommendations for the nation to the President of the United
States. One of the key objectives of the President's Advisory Council on
Financial Capability is to find ways to improve the financial capability of
young Americans.
