Hi, I'm Viyu. Ask me about the stories collected here. I answer only from them, with numbered links to the outlets that published them, and I say so when they do not cover it.
Fayyaz Pins Economic Collapse on Government Mismanagement, Criticises MMA Inaction
MDP Chairperson Fayyaz Ismail criticised the Maldives Monetary Authority for inaction amid rising prices, citing high costs for basics, a strong dollar and over MVR 13 billion in unpaid government bills. Official data showed consumer prices rose 4.55 percent year-on-year in May, with electricity prices up nearly 13 percent.

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.
Who said what
the reports' own quoted words, each once
An apple costs MVR 10, one kilogramme of onion costs above MVR 50, food is in short supply, medicines are not available, the dollar is above MVR 20.20, and small businesses are in debt. Government bills unpaid are now above MVR 13 billion
This is not a government that knows the plight of the people and wants to look at it. The prices of basic necessities did not go up; the price of MVR went down. The government’s actions will still make it go down
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
