Nasheed Calls for Full Transparency on Financial Crisis
Former President Mohamed Nasheed called for full transparency on the country's financial crisis following BML's decision to alter foreign transaction limits. In a post on X, Nasheed urged political leaders to clearly communicate how the crisis developed and future steps. BML CEO Karl Stumke explained that the bank purchased approximately USD 60 million in foreign currency this year, but card usage was three times that amount, causing a disparity where 75% less foreign currency is available for businesses. Customers with USD accounts are unaffected.
