Parliament Approves Record MVR 56.6 Billion Budget for 2025

Parliament approved a record MVR 56.6 billion budget for 2025 on Wednesday, with 70 members voting in favour and 11 opposing. The budget cuts subsidies to MVR 7.9 billion from MVR 10.9 billion in 2024 and reduces housing allocation to MVR 2.7 billion from MVR 3.4 billion, drawing opposition criticism over disclosure, island-level allocation and subsidy cuts.
