Maldives Facing Cash Shortage Turns to Cryptocurrency! A Massive Move of 9 Billion Dollars Has Arrived!

Maldives is preparing to contribute to its local economy with a move worth 9 billion dollars.

According to a report by the Financial Times, the Maldives wants to diversify its local economy by embracing blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

Accordingly, the Maldives announced plans to build a $9 billion blockchain center to attract global investors by leveraging the potential of the cryptocurrency market.

At this point, the Maldivian government signed an agreement with Dubai-based MBA Global Services to build a blockchain center worth 9 billion dollars to attract crypto investors.

Dubai-based MBA Global Services is leveraging its network of high-net-worth individuals and asset management firms to raise up to $8.8 billion for the blockchain center.

This plan is expected to help the Maldives, which is suffering from cash shortages, to overcome the impending debt crisis.

Maldives Finance Minister Moosa Zameer stated that this plan is a significant step for the country to diversify its economy away from tourism and fishing.

Zaamer "The debt that needs to be paid in the next two years continues to be the biggest challenge we face. At this point, the agreement we made with MBA Global Services will help us overcome some of the challenges we are currently facing and provide potential contributions to our economy." he said.

The $9 billion blockchain center project, referred to as a "global financial free zone for blockchain and digital assets," aims to triple the Maldives' GDP within four years and generate revenues well above $1 billion in the fifth year.
