Maldives Overhauls Foreign Investment Law to Attract Global Investors

The Maldives issued revised Foreign Investment Entry Requirements under the new Foreign Investment Act ratified by President Dr Mohamed Muizzu on 3 September 2024, replacing the 1979 law. The framework classifies opportunities into fully open, joint venture, and closed categories, reserves certain sectors for Maldivians, and grants existing investors transition periods of one to seven years.
