Nasheed Warns Maldives Risks Debt Trap as High Interest Loans Pay Off Old Debt
Former president Mohamed Nasheed warned on Sunday that the Maldives risks falling into a debt trap if the government borrows at high interest rates solely to repay existing loans. Political figures cited reports that the administration is seeking financing above 14 percent through Cargill Financial Services International to repay a USD 500 million sukuk maturing on 8 April, a plan the government has not confirmed.
