Halting Debt Monetisation Won’t Affect Cash Flow if Revenue Forecasts Are Met: Finance Ministry
The Ministry of Finance said cash flow will not be affected by the halt to debt monetisation if the government receives the dues and revenue forecast in the 2024 National Budget. The Muizzu administration decided not to extend the pandemic-era practice of overdrawing from public accounts, which had allowed borrowing of MVR 4.4 billion from the central bank.

One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Who said what
