It will be interesting to see how her work shifts under this new umbrella term.

Edit: I found the following explanation by queen Máxima herself in this NOS article.

"We now want to achieve that people can use financial products and services that help them get a grip on their daily income and expenses, that they can invest responsibly in a company or save for long-term goals, that they can protect themselves against financial setbacks such as job loss or the consequences of climate change and have confidence in their financial future," says the Queen. "These four elements together form financial health."
