Opposition leader and MDP chairperson Fayyaz Ismail blamed the government's economic mismanagement for a strike planned by Trans Maldivian Airways staff for 26 July, after TMA announced it would pay 20 percent of salaries in Maldivian Rufiyaa under new foreign exchange rules. The workers demand wages be paid entirely in US dollars, and the strike could disrupt tourism, which contributes around 30 percent of GDP.
