Sustainable Views: Looking after your financial health

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.-Links:Here is the link to the FT’s Financial Literacy and Inclusion Campaign, FT FLIC: https://ftflic.comHere are the links to Silvia’s interviews with Queen Máxima, from 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MZWR6ep5IQ And 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L56k2BlbBRUTo follow Queen Máxima’s financial inclusion work on social media, you can find UNSGSA on LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram.  Hosted on Acast.
