Last update: 9 hours agoForeign Exchange: President Mohamed Muizzu says new rules requiring tourism and other businesses to convert foreign currency through local banks should ease the dollar shortage and strengthen reserves. But one account of a currency exchange showed a customer paying MVR 23.50 per dollar, well above the official MVR 15.42 rate. Tourism: The government’s new resort corporation plans to develop 10 resorts in three years, while October arrivals reached a monthly record but remained below 2025 levels. Disrupted Russian tourist payments at the Maldives’ biggest bank have also prompted tour companies to seek government support. Property Market: A proposed real estate bill would regulate developers and transactions and add protections for buyers, as a major Ras Malé development moves forward. Regional Trade: During Muizzu’s Pakistan visit, the two countries set a goal to raise bilateral trade from $13.9 million to $200 million within two years and signed 20 cooperation agreements.
