Koningin Máxima hield vanuit haar kantoor de openingstoespraak bij de ASEAN Women Leaders’ Summit. In haar VN-hoedanigheid benadrukte ze het belang van goede toegang tot financiële diensten, waarbij de koningin zich vooral richtte op achtergestelde groepen in Azië. Jaarlijks wordt deze bijeenkomst georganiseerd door de ASEAN, een organisatie die zich bezighoudt met het verbeteren van economische, culturele en politieke samenwerking. #vorsten #royalty #queenmaxima #koninginmaxima #asean #unitednations

She stressed the importance of good access to and use of financial services to give people better opportunities for economic development.
The current coronavirus crisis shows that inclusive finance is an important instrument for cushioning the socio-economic impact. According to the most recent World Bank Global Findex (2017), in many ASEAN countries, less than 50% of the population owns an account at a formal financial institution.
