Mounting SOE Debt Places Significant Strain on State Budget: Finance Ministry

The Ministry of Finance said the state has approved about MVR 300 million in treasury loans to state-owned enterprises so far this year, and warned that growing SOE debt and unpaid loans, fines and taxes weigh heavily on the state budget. SOEs have paid MVR 650 million in dividends this year, roughly half the estimated amount, while owing MVR 880 million in unpaid fines and taxes.
