1. Introduction to Financial Health Report (FHR)
A Financial Health Report (FHR) is a detailed and systematic evaluation of an individual’s or household’s financial condition.
It provides a clear understanding of how well a person is managing their finances today and how prepared they are for future financial needs and uncertainties.
2. Objective of the Financial Health Repor
The primary objectives of an FHR are:
- ✔ To assess the overall financial position of an individual
- ✔ To identify financial strengths, weaknesses, and risks
- ✔ To promote financial awareness and responsible decision-making
- ✔ To guide individuals in choosing the right financial products (loans, insurance, investments)
- ✔ To help achieve long-term financial freedom with confidence
3. Why Financial Health is Important
Financial health determines how well a person can:
- ✔ Meet daily expenses
- ✔ Handle emergencies
- ✔ Manage debts and loans

Poor financial health often leads to stress, wrong borrowing decisions, and long-term financial instability.
An FHR helps prevent these issues by providing clarity and direction.
