President urges Maldivians to seize foothold in global market as PayPal services launch

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu launched PayPal services in the Maldives, fulfilling a key campaign pledge and marking a new era for the digital economy. He urged local creators and innovators to use the platform to access global markets, noting that the lack of secure payment channels was a major obstacle. The launch is part of a broader strategy to transform the Maldives into a digitally-driven economy, aiming for the digital sector to contribute at least 15% to GDP by 2030, supported by the Dhivaru International Submarine Cable project with Google. The government is also developing the Creator Hub, a state-of-the-art complex opening on November 11, with regional facilities across atolls to nurture talent. The President called on manufacturers, artisans, and entrepreneurs to showcase Maldivian ingenuity globally.
