Fake News Alert: Opposition’s “Money Printing” Story Falls Apart as Experts Reveal the Truth

Financial experts say the Maldives Monetary Authority's bond transaction with the Pension Fund is a legitimate secondary-market investment rather than money printing, as opposition voices claim. Experts also cited MMA's increase of the bank reserve requirement from 10 percent to 11 percent and said proceeds will help clear around MVR 9 billion in outstanding payments left by the previous administration.
