President Vows to End Dollar Crisis by 2027: A Bold Roadmap to Economic Stability

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu said on the debut episode of his podcast Spot On that the Maldives will overcome its dollar shortage by 2027, with Maldivians able to access U.S. dollars at official bank rates. He credited improved dollar inflows from tourism and a new foreign exchange law introduced earlier this year that requires dollar-earning businesses to declare and deposit part of their income through official banking channels.
