Disbursed Outstanding Debt1 The increase in external debt is mainly due to disbursements made for At the end of June 2019, DOD stood at MVR 64,984 million, an increase the VIA Development Project. While the project progress had stalled of 18% from June 2018, and 8% from December 2018. due to several proposed contractual changes, the Government was able to resolve the issues and expedite work early in the year, and the project Figure 1 shows the trend in DOD from December 2016 to June 2019. is now expected to move forward at a reasonable pace. Increase in domestic debt comes from primarily the issuance of treasury bills worth USD 100 million, subscribed to by the State Bank of India, Male’ Branch. The arrangement between the Government of India and Maldives with regard to this investment is that all amounts due would be settled by the Indian Government, eliminating any debt burden for Maldives from this investment. A further USD 50 million is scheduled to be issued during the later half of the year, also under the same arrangement. While GOM had issued one new guarantee in the first half of 2019, the increase in government guaranteed debt as at end June 2019 mainly comes from high disbursements made under loans for which government has provided sovereign guarantees in prior years. Many of the projects being implemented with the support of sovereign guarantees are approaching a close within the next year, and guaranteed debt is expected to gradually reduce from 2020 onwards. Although the share of external debt in total debt has not changed significantly in recent years, the share of domestic debt has reduced from In the six months up to June 2019, total debt increased by MVR 4,597 59% to 45% and the share of guaranteed debt has increased from 7% to million, with the increase largely coming from guaranteed debt.

  • 1 Executive Summary the Republic of Maldives Comprises 1,190 Islands
    Executive Summary The Republic of Maldives comprises 1,190 islands in 20 atolls spread over 900 km in the Indian Ocean. The Maldives attracts a million tourists annually, and tourism is the growth engine for the economy and accounts for about 70% of GDP. (Contribution is split 30% direct and 70% indirect via transportation, communication, and construction sectors.) Maldives is a multi-party constitutional democracy. In 2008 Parliament ratified a new constitution that provided for the first multi-party presidential elections. In 2012, the first democratically-elected President, Mohamed Nasheed, stepped down, and Vice President Mohamed Waheed became the head of state. In September 7, 2013, Maldives held presidential elections, which international monitors commented as transparent, fair and credible. In a run-off election on November 16, 2014, Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom was elected the new President. Economic growth is projected around 4% in 2014. Maldives faces significant fiscal and balance of payment (BOP) problems. The Maldives Monetary Authority’s (Central Bank) recent projections estimate that the country’s current account deficit will widen to about $270 million in 2014 or 11% of GDP. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been surprised by the Maldives economic resilience despite long standing economic problems. In December 2009, the IMF approved a $93 million loan for the country. After the first two disbursements, the IMF withheld subsequent disbursements due to concerns that the budget deficit must be further reduced. Maldives economic growth has been mainly powered by tourism. Many international resort operators own and operate resort islands in Maldives; tourism will likely remain the engine of the economy.

  • Exchange Rate Issues in the Maldives
    Exchange Rate Issues in the Maldives Azeema Adam A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics of The University of Canberra January 2012 Abstract The Maldives has maintained an exchange rate policy since 1994 that pegs the Maldivian currency, the rufiyaa, to the United States (US) dollar. In small and open economies like the Maldives, the role of exchange rate is even more crucial as changes in exchange rates have a quick and a direct impact on the economic activities and the cost of living in the country. Yet no empirical studies exist on the exchange rate regime of the Maldives. Further, the Maldives lacks the basic tools to analyse the exchange rate of the country; for example, information on the real exchange rates (RERs) and effective exchange rates (EERs). Therefore, this study aims to develop a set of key indicators for exchange rate analysis; examine the main issues related to the exchange rate; and evaluate the appropriateness of the current exchange rate regime of the Maldives. It provides policy makers for the first time estimates of the main indicators of the exchange rate for the Mal- dives. Since the basic indicators of exchange rate analysis do not exist for the Maldives, this study constructs indices for the nominal effective exchange rates (NEER), real effective exchange rate (REER) and the terms of trade (TOT). These indices facilitate the empirical analyses undertaken in this study. They would also be use- ful for the policy makers of the Maldives, to monitor the behaviour of the ex- change rate in the country.

  • An Analysis of the Denomination Structure of the Maldivian Rufiyaa
    RESEARCH AND POLICY NOTES RPN 1-16 APRIL 2016 An Analysis of the Denomination Structure of the Maldivian Rufiyaa Hassan Fahmy Disclaimer: Research and Policy Notes cover research and analysis carried out by the staff of the Maldives Monetary Authority for both internal and external research purposes and policy decisions. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author(s), and do not necessarily represent those of the MMA. RPN 1-16 AN ANALYSIS OF THE DENOMINATION STRUCTURE OF THE MALDIVIAN RUFIYAA a Hassan Fahmy* Abstract This article provides a summary of the analysis on the optimal currency denomination structure. The basis of this analysis is the D-Metric model which has been successfully applied in a wide range of countries around the globe (Crickett, 2012). Since the release of its first paper banknote series in 1947, the Maldives’ currency series and its denomination structure has had regular and effective upgrades on a timely basis. The entire currency series has been renewed three times in the past including the most recent upgrade to the “Ran Dhihafaheh” series. Structural changes (i.e., introduction of new denominations and conversion of banknotes to same-value coins) have taken place with the renewal of currency series as well as in between such changes. The structural changes made with the release of the new “Ran Dhihafaheh” series—that is the introduction of high- denomination 1,000 rufiyaa banknote and the planned transition of 5 rufiyaa banknote to a same-value coin—have been long overdue as per the results of the D-Metric model.
