In a strategic move to bolster economic diversification and enhance the Maldives‘ position in the global market, President Mohamed Muizzu has announced the creation of a 100-hectare Special Economic Zone (SEZ) dedicated to re-export activities. This declaration was made during the inauguration event of the Velana International Airport development project.

Minister of Economic Development and Trade, Mohamed Saeed, highlighted the administration’s decision to establish a fully state-owned enterprise, the Maldives Industrial Development Free Zone, aimed at fostering economic diversification. This entity will focus on transshipment and re-exporting activities, tapping into the strategic location of the Maldives for international trade.

President Muizzu further specified that Thilafushi Island and its adjacent reclaimed land would be designated for re-export activities, with the vision of transforming it into an international SEZ. The initiative seeks to leverage various opportunities to position the Maldives as a key player in the re-export sector.

The newly formed company will engage in producing raw materials and food products indigenous to the Maldives, aiming to boost the country’s revenue through international exports. Five state-owned enterprises, including the State Trading Organization (STO), Urbanco, Maldives Ports Limited (MPL), Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC), and Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL), will be key stakeholders in this venture.

Minister Saeed assured that necessary resources such as land, staff, capital, and additional assets would be allocated to the company in the forthcoming weeks, laying the groundwork for a significant leap in the Maldives‘ economic development and international trade capabilities.

Maldives Launches MIFSA, as it introduces Pioneering Offshore Financial Services Initiative”

Utilizing the SEZ Act of 2014, President Mohamed Muizzu has established the Maldives International Financial Services Authority (MIFSA) to offer offshore financing services, marking a pivotal diversification of the Maldives’ economy and expanding its financial sector’s capabilities.

London Borough of Lambeth, England, United Kingdom – March 15, 2024

In a landmark move to bolster the Maldives’ financial services sector, President Mohamed Muizzu, leveraging the authority granted by the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) Act of 2014, has inaugurated the Maldives International Financial Services Authority (MIFSA). This pivotal initiative aims to introduce comprehensive offshore financing services across the nation, signaling a major leap in diversifying the economic landscape of the Maldives.

Overseen by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, MIFSA’s establishment was first announced by President Muizzu on January 4th, with plans to locate the authority on Funadhoo Island, just across Malé. This strategic move includes relocating the current fuel storage facility to Maagirifalhu, as confirmed by the President’s Office.

MIFSA is set to craft a robust legal framework to support not only offshore but also onshore financing services as outlined in the SEZ Act. “The creation of MIFSA paves the way for the development of offshore and onshore development banks, international financial centers, and the exploration of modern solutions to the legal and administrative hurdles in crafting a competitive financial market system,” stated the President’s Office.

Emphasising the significance of this development, President Muizzu shared, “Transforming Funadhoo Island into an international financial centre and fostering its development encapsulates our broader vision for the Maldives.”

During the inauguration of Velana International Airport’s third development phase, President Muizzu expressed his commitment to establishing international financial centres within the Maldives, with MIFSA being a foundational step toward this goal.

Further expanding the economic development strategy, the President announced the establishment of a re-export Special Economic Zone at Thilafushi, to be operated by the Maldives Industrial Free Zone Company. “Our goal is to synergize this with other initiatives, transforming it into a world-class international re-export SEZ,” he added.

The establishment of MIFSA and the forthcoming financial centers and SEZs are indicative of the Maldives‘ ambitious plans to enhance its position as a key player in the global financial and trade sectors.

According to tourism ministry data, as of 27 February, The Maldives has welcomed 52,995 Chinese visitors this year, constituting 13.3 percent of the total tourist arrivals.

Maldivian Reduces Surfboard Carriage Fees to Promote Access to Surfing Destinations

Maldivian, the national carrier, has addressed concerns regarding elevated surfboard carriage fees by announcing substantial reductions. Large surfboard charges will decrease by 33%, and small surfboard fees will see a significant 66% cut.

London Borough of Lambeth, England, United Kingdom – March 15, 2024

The Maldives – Responding to public discontent, The Maldives’ national carrier, Maldivian, announces significant reductions in surfboard carriage fees. Effective immediately, charges for large surfboards will be reduced by 33%, with small surfboards seeing a remarkable 66% decrease.

The decision to revise surfboard carriage fees follows concerns raised by residents and visitors alike, notably during a recent ‘Raeesge Javaabu’ Q&A session with President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. The issue gained attention when Ahmed Rasheed, a Gadhdhoo resident from Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, emphasised the exorbitant costs tourists faced, amounting to as much as US$800, to transport surfboards to The Maldives. Such expenses were found to deter surf enthusiasts, impacting the popularity of renowned surfing spots like Tiger Stripes in Gadhdhoo.

In response, President Muizzu pledged swift action to rectify the situation, prompting Maldivian to promptly revise its surfboard carriage fees. These adjustments aim to foster greater accessibility to The Maldives‘ surfing destinations, catering to both domestic and international surf enthusiasts.
