Minister of Economic Development, Transport and Trade Mohamed Saeed stated that PayPal's introduction will enable Maldivians to expand participation in the global digital economy, creating opportunities for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and content creators. Speaking at the official launch, he described it as the end of a decade-long wait, crediting President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu's efforts since assuming office in November 2023. President Muizzu said the launch removes a major obstacle for engaging with international digital markets. Minister Saeed linked PayPal to the government's goal of having the digital economy contribute 15% of GDP by 2030. Ooredoo Maldives CEO Shadi Qawasmi said the launch strengthens the Maldivian economy and connectivity with the global digital marketplace. The service is expected to support digital wallets and online payment systems.
