Summary/Abstract: Needles to say that financial literacy has become one of the important topics related to finance. Not only has it been implemented into the curriculums of most of the schools in the Czech Republic, yet it also has become a subject of testing. This confirms the existence of several studies conducted in past. The subject of this study is the level of financial literacy level among young pupils in the Czech Republic, particularly in the South Moravian Region. The goal of it is to provide results concerning a recently conducted study on primary schools in the region. The results are devoted to several tested predictors of the financial literacy level. It has been shown that the area of pupils’ hobbies is a statistically significant predictor of financial literacy level, together with pupils’ profession. On the other hand, gender and presence of siblings have been rendered as statistically insignificant predictors. The study is based on quantitative research and several statistical methods, such as t-tests or ANOVA are applied.
