Moody’s Retains Caa2 Rating for Maldives Citing Debt Repayment Risks
Moody's Ratings maintained the Maldives' long-term issuer rating at Caa2 with a negative outlook in a periodic review published on Friday, following a rating committee held on 8 May, citing limited financing options, low foreign exchange reserves and looming external debt maturities. The agency flagged the $500 million sukuk maturing in 2026 as a key test of the sovereign's refinancing capability and said a downgrade is possible if default risks rise.

Despite a gradual uptick in foreign exchange reserves observed since October 2024… the impending maturity of sizeable external debt obligations remains a significant credit concern for Maldives
It is essential in our assessment of default risk to demonstrate that upcoming external debt obligations… will be reliably and comfortably repaid or refinanced.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
