The 68th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68), held in New York City, focused on the theme of "Women's Financial Issues and Economic Equality," sparking lively discussions. Seizing the opportunity of the gathering of delegates from various countries, TABF collaborated with domestic and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to organize two parallel meetings officially recognized by the United Nations. This allowed Taiwan to showcase its achievements in promoting financial inclusion on the global diplomatic stage.

In 2023, in collaboration with TABF, Hua Nan Bank launched financial education advocacy campaigns across 32 administrative districts and 65 elementary schools in Tainan City, Taiwan. Developed by TABF, the curriculum covered concepts such as spending, unexpected expenses, family burden, and fraud prevention. With the support of legislator Kuo, Kuo-Wen and the Tainan City Government, this initiative made Tainan the first city in Taiwan to undergo experiential financial education at the community level.

FE62's historical collection and a variety of media display the trajectory and achievements of Taiwanese finance. Moreover, interactive programs simulating financial planning help to broaden audiences' financial horizons and build proper attitudes towards finance.
