Maldives Lowers 2024 Overall Growth Projection from 5.5% to 4.9%

The Ministry of Finance's Macro Economic Update lowered the 2024 GDP growth forecast to 4.9 percent from 5.5 percent, citing expected slowdowns in tourism and construction. Tourism growth in the medium term was cut to 6.8 percent and the construction sector's growth forecast was reduced to 0.7 percent, though tourism revenue and total arrivals were still expected to rise.
