The Bank of Ghana (BoG) is set to host Queen Máxima of the Netherlands from November 4 to 5, 2026, as part of her visit to Ghana.

During her stay, she will engage in a bilateral meeting with the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama, to discuss Ghana’s progress in financial inclusion and digital finance.
Additionally, the BoG and Queen Máxima will co-host a Roundtable on Financial Health, bringing together senior leaders from various sectors to discuss and explore various aspects of financial health. This visit follows discussions between Queen Máxima and other high-level officials at the IMF and World Bank Group's Spring Meetings, where financial health was identified as a priority for economic resilience and inclusive growth.
Ghana is currently recognized as one of Africa's leading success stories in digital financial inclusion, with 81% of adults holding a financial account and a strong digital payments infrastructure. Strengthening financial health is seen as the next crucial stage in Ghana's financial inclusion journey.
