Maldives Appoints Centerview as Debt Adviser Amid Financial Worries

The Maldives government has appointed US investment banking firm Centerview Partners to help it through its financial crisis, as public and publicly guaranteed debt reached US$8.2 billion (118% of GDP) in the first quarter of the year and foreign reserves were exhausted in August. India rolled over a US$50 million payment to 2025, and the Maldives Monetary Authority agreed currency swap lines with the Reserve Bank of India valid until 18 June 2027.
