Máxima was recently appointed the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Financial Health (UNSGSA).
In her new role, she continues to campaign for equitable access to financial tools and literacy to help people secure their future.
As part her former role in the UN as Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development, Máxima previously discussed the importance of tech innovations in improving access to financial services at the annual tech festival.
She advocated for better access to current or savings accounts, insurance, loans, pensions and digital payments – for the 1.7 billion adults worldwide who lack access to these basic financial services.
It comes after the royal was spotted during a number of official engagements in her native Holland in late October.
The Dutch royal greeted onlookers warmly during a visit to a not-for-profit organisation in Hoofddorp in the province of North Holland.
The royal accessorised her all-red ensemble, comprising a sleeveless, knee-length dress and an elegant coat, with a pair of suede beige heels and a clutch bag.

Máxima, who campaigns for financial literacy and inclusion, attended a workshop hosted by the Stronger Together programme against poverty on Wednesday.
During one heartfelt moment, a group of young children at the workshop gathered around the royal in a giant embrace, with others offering her bouquets of flowers.
Máxima completed her red outfit with a pair of ruby earrings, and wore her hair in an effortlessly chic bun.
She also wore a pair of diamond bracelets, a watch, and her wedding ring, with Máxima opting for a subtle smokey eye to pull the whole look together.
Her flawless makeup base was accentuated with a pop of colour on the cheeks and a simple, nude lip.
On the same day as her visit to Hoofddorp, Máxima also travelled to the Northwest Hospital Group in Alkmaar, where she attended a program focussed on the ‘Future of Healthcare’.
