The great PayPal hijack and erasure of real effort
The article argues that the current administration under President Mohamed Muizzu is falsely claiming credit for bringing PayPal to the Maldives. It states that the groundwork was laid by the previous government of Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, with the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) initiating formal appeals to PayPal in 2020. The actual breakthrough came from Ooredoo Maldives, a private telecom, which requested authorization and partnered with PayPal. The article criticizes Economic Minister Mohamed Saeed for hijacking the narrative and asserts that the government contributed no meaningful effort.
