The President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkēvičs, will meet with Queen Maxima of the Netherlands today at 14:20, the Latvian president's office reported.
On September 25, 2024, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was appointed as the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Financial Health. This position continues and expands her previous work in financial inclusion, where she served for 15 years as the UN Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Financial Development.
As part of this work, Queen Maxima has advocated for ensuring access to safe, affordable, and quality financial services, including financial accounts, credit, and insurance, and their usage.
In her new UN mandate, Queen Maxima has focused on financial health - the ability of individuals to manage their everyday finances, withstand financial shocks, plan for the future, and feel confident in their financial situation.
At a global level, Queen Maxima advocates for the development of financial services, products, and policies that prioritize financial health.
