Absract. Financial literacy is a significant variable for the sustainable development of modern economies, which operate on the paradigm of “free market play” and structurally developed on monetary system. In this context, there is an urgent need for financial education that aligns with contemporary economic conditions. This study examines the vocabulary used in the document titled “Financial Literacy Strategy of the Republic of Bulgaria” from the perspective of its specialized financial lexicon. The primary aim of the research is to analyze the terminology framework of the document and its accompanying texts to assess whether they effectively fulfill their primary function of providing a clear and precise narrative. The central thesis is that the proposed definitions deviate from the standards of specialized financial language, thereby undermining their linguistic accuracy, making the vocabulary unsuitable for normative use and ad significantly limiting the document's ability to achieve its stated goals.
