President Mohamed Muizzu announced that the Maldives will introduce a digital currency, speaking at the Maldives National University graduation ceremony on Thursday, 31 October 2024. He said the digital economy will account for 15 percent of GDP by 2030 and that he had advised MMA Governor Ahmed Munawar to begin work on introducing the currency.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
We will still [work] to expand digital currency in the country in line with international best practice standards
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
While noting that by 2030, the nation’s digital economy will account for 15 percent of GDP, the President said that he had advised the Governor of the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA), Ahmed Munawar, to begin work on introducing a digital currency.
