Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was on Wednesday in the spa town of Wiesbaden in Germany, where she opened a G20 conference on financial inclusion.

Yesterday Wednesday, January 25th 2017, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was on German soil more precisely in Wiesbaden. A city about forty kilometers west of Frankfurt best known to be one of the oldest spa towns in Europe. She was there to open a very serious G20 conference on financial inclusion.

The Queen of the Netherlands had in fact dressed her double cap as Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Inclusive Finance for Development and Honorary President of the G20 Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion. Dressed in a sepia striped dress and navy blue of the Belgian brand Natan, under a short jacket of the same blue, Maxima was welcomed in the castle of Biebrich where the meeting was held. According to the Dutch media, the president of the Deutsche Bundesbank (Federal Bank of Germany) remarked to her, in his welcome, that this palace on the Rhine formerly belonged to the Nassau family. "Your husband's family," he said.

Entitled "Digitization of finance, financial inclusion and financial literacy", this conference was co-organized by the Deutsche Bundesbank and the Federal Ministry of Finance, while Germany is currently chairing the G20. The Palace said that Queen Maxima discussed, among other things, how technology and digital applications can be deployed to allow more people to use financial services in a safe and responsible manner.
