President says geographic constraints no longer limit economic growth

President Dr Mohamed Muizzu said on Monday that geographical barriers no longer limit economic growth for the Maldives, speaking at the launch of PayPal services in the Maldives through Ooredoo's m-Faisaa platform at Dharubaaruge. He stated that the introduction of PayPal will provide Maldivian businesses, entrepreneurs, and content creators with greater access to international markets. Muizzu noted that while the Maldives was historically connected through maritime trade, it is now linked via the digital economy. He thanked PayPal and Ooredoo for making the service available after years of public demand. Muizzu recalled discussions with young entrepreneurs who faced challenges receiving payments through international platforms. He emphasized that when he assumed office in 2023, he refused to accept that the Maldives' geography should narrow opportunities. The President stressed broadening the economic base beyond traditional industries and said PayPal is part of a wider strategy to strengthen digital infrastructure. PayPal services were launched through a partnership between PayPal and Ooredoo Fintech, integrated into Ooredoo's m-Faisaa digital wallet.
