Ameer Blames Government’s Reliance on Projected Revenues for Maldives’ Financial Struggles
Former Finance Minister Ibrahim Ameer told an MDP press conference on Sunday that the Maldives' financial troubles stem from the government's reliance on anticipated MVR 16 billion in revenues and its refusal to cut spending, warning of possible credit rating downgrades. Bank of Maldives meanwhile suspended foreign transaction allowances on MVR-linked cards and cut Standard and Gold credit card monthly limits to US$100, citing foreign currency shortfalls.
