Though most of us would understand what the term ‘financial health’ means, there isn’t quite an official definition. That’s a problem if we want policymakers to pay attention to this area. 

Ensuring we have enough money at the end of the month should be a concern not just for individuals, but for employers and financial regulators too. 

This is what Queen Mȧxima of the Netherlands has been campaigning for in her role as UN secretary-general’s special advocate for inclusive finance, or UNSGSA.

In this episode, you’ll hear the Queen’s views on financial health and why it matters to everyone, across all countries – not just developing ones. Then, Silvia speaks to Pia Roman Tayag, the director of the UNSGSA office about where the concept of financial health fits in their longer-standing work on financial inclusion.
