Item South Asia economic focus spring 2018(World Bank, 2018)Item Maldives economic update : September 2011(World Bank, 2011-09) World Bank; ވޯރލްޑް ބޭންކްTourism sector growth continues to be robust in 2011, consolidating the strong rebound in real Gross Domestic Product, or GDP growth in 2010. Real GDP growth is estimated to be 8.3 percent in 2011, down from 9.9 percent in 2010. Fast growing tourism receipts are supporting higher than expected government revenue outcomes. Recently introduced tax reforms, particularly the tourism goods and services tax, will put medium term fiscal sustainability on a firmer footing. Nevertheless, fiscal consolidation remains the policy priority for the authorities. Discussions with the International Monetary Fund or IMF on a program of support will resume this quarter. to see if agreement can be reached on measures that ensures medium-term fiscal and debt sustainability Domestic financing of the unsustainable fiscal deficit and rising international commodities prices continue to put pressure on the demand for foreign currency. Consequently, foreign reserves have resumed their downward trend after the boost from one-off privatization receipts. Uncertainty related to the recent devaluation of the Rufiyaa has subsided, but it is still trading at the upper end of the band and there remains an approximately 10 percent parallel market premium. The inflationary effects of the devaluation are now being felt with consumer price inflation rising to double digits in recent months.Item Maldives economic update : September 2010(World Bank, 2010-09) World Bank; ވޯރލްޑް ބޭންކްThe rebound in tourism experienced since August 2009 seems to have been sustained, auguring well for a sizeable recovery this year from the slump of 2009. Despite having posted better-than-expected fiscal results in the first half of the year, the country will be hard-pressed to sustain this in the medium term. However, despite the challenges, the government remains steadfastly committed to fiscal consolidation. Monetary policy has been made more conducive to sustaining both domestic stability and external stability. Inflation pressures remain modest, with the introduction of non-monetary financing of the deficit. However, the country's turbulent political environment persists, complicating forecasts of future outcomes. The ambitious task of fiscal consolidation and the establishment of macro stability require much political bi-partisanship and cooperation.Item Maldives development update : April 2014(World Bank, 2014-04) Gomez Osorio, Camilo; Abeygunawardana, Kishan; Subasinghe, Shalika; Sun, ChangqingReal GDP growth in Maldives stood at 3.7 percent in 2013 and its outlook is positive at 4.5 percent for 2014. The tourism demand is slowly picking up and has a positive impact on growth in the non- tourism sectors. Chinese tourists continue to compensate for the weaker demand from Europe, but overall the length of stay has declined, as well as spending per tourist. Growth while dynamic was less inclusive, as the tourism industry is operating on an enclave model of development. The share of GDP from the primary sector, agriculture, mining and fisheries that employ the largest share of Maldivians in the outer atolls, was less than 0.3 percent of GDP in 2013. Loose fiscal policy in a context of moderating economic growth has led to rising macroeconomic imbalances. While revenue collection has been strong, over the past five years the gap between revenues and expenditures has widened, financed through unsustainable levels of public debt at increasing interest rates. The 2014 Budget comes with a record high envelope of MVR 17.95 billion (around 50 percent of GDP), about MVR 3 billion in new revenue measures, and an estimated 3.2 percent financing gap. Financing such high level of spending and meeting this ambitious financing gap would be difficult. Cash management will be tight through 2014. Inflation moderated to 6 percent in 2013 in 2013 although food inflation remained high.Item Maldives debt management reform plan(World Bank, 2019-03-01) World Bank Group; ވޯރލްޑް ބޭންކް ގްރޫޕްThe first Debt Management Performance Assessment (DeMPA) for Maldives was conducted in 2009, and a second DeMPA was completed in March 2019. The authorities have taken important steps to improve debt management since the first assessment, but many challenges remain. The government has implemented a series of reforms to public financial and debt management, including changes to the legal and institutional framework. Key measures include a complete overhaul of Treasury operations, the implementation of the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) across all government entities in the capital, Malé, the establishment of a Treasury Single Account, and the development of cash-flow forecasting procedures. The coverage of the Commonwealth Secretariat Debt Recording and Management System (CSDRMS) has also been expanded, and the CS-DRMS is now used as a central database for almost all debt obligations, except Islamic finance instruments. The results of the 2019 DeMPA shed light on these improvements and indicate areas for further action.Item ބޮލީގެ ވިޔަފާރި(ދިވެހި ބަހާއި ތާރީޚަށް ޚިދްމަތްކުރާ ޤައުމީ މަރުކަޒު, 2004-10-01) ނަސީމާ މުޙައްމަދު,; Mohamed, NItem Free trade agreements and changing role of Customs Officers(Maldives Customs Service, 2017-12-01) Zubair, Ali; ޢަލީ ޒުބައިރުItem Export increases by 96% in December(Maldives Customs Service, 2017-12-01) Faisal, Hamdhoon; ހަމްދޫން ފައިސަލް
