Investing in Maldives
Introduction
In response to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, the Government of Maldives has decided to play a proactive role in stimulating economic activity, as well as building back a more resilient economy. Following this political decision, the main strategic priority for 2021 is to help mobilise aid, promote tourism, facilitate trade, and attract investment opportunities.
In this regard, the Embassy of Maldives in Brussels is planning to host a Webinar entitled ‘Investing in Maldives: Tourism, Fisheries and Renewable Energy’. This Webinar is organized in collaboration with “Hub Brussels” and will take place virtually on the 16th of June 2021 at 12h00 (Brussels time).
The main purpose of this initiative is to provide a platform for European businesses and potential investors from Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, to get direct and accurate information on possible investment opportunities in Maldives in fields such as Tourism, Fisheries and Renewable Energy.
Furthermore, the participants and potential investors will have the opportunity to hear from the Minister of Tourism, H.E Dr Abdulla Mausoom, the Minister of Finance, H.E. Ibrahim Ameer , as well as to exchange views with Government’s high officials on Maldives’ potential to become a hub for trade and investment to the European private sector.
The Vice-President of the European Investment Bank, Mr. Christian Kettel Thomsen, will address a keynote speech on the EIB’s ongoing partnership and close cooperation with the Maldives.
