Ex-President Solih Halted Debt Monetisation, Not Current Government: MDP

The MDP said the Muizzu administration's claim that it halted debt monetisation was untrue, arguing the decision was made by the previous Solih administration in November 2022 with the practice to end by 31 December 2023. President Muizzu had said his administration halted the practice and inherited a debt of MVR 120 billion.
