If Maldives Economy Needs Bitter Pill for Revival, Now Is the Time To Make Things Clear: Deputy Speaker

Deputy Speaker of Parliament Ahmed Nazim said the administration should honestly explain Maldives' current economic situation to the public and outline any 'bitter pill' needed to overcome the slowdown, drawing lessons from Sri Lanka's bankruptcy and Pakistan's IMF/World Bank-backed reforms. He urged that economic options be examined well before the 2025 budget discussions rather than waiting until November.
