Tourism Mogul Mohamed Moosa Urges Suspension of Foreign Currency Rule
Tourism mogul Mohamed Moosa formally objected to the new foreign currency regulation introduced by the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) on 1 October 2024. In a letter to MMA Governor Ahmed Munawwar, Moosa warned of 'disastrous domino effects' and criticized the policy as 'arbitrary' and 'unfeasible.' He highlighted the lack of consultation and argued that the one-size-fits-all approach ignores resorts' unique operational needs and high debt burdens. The letter urged the government to suspend the regulation and engage in dialogue. It was copied to the President's Office, People's Majlis, and Ministry of Tourism. The government has yet to respond.
