The Maldivian economy observed a significant growth during the traditional peak season of the tourism sector, as the resorts in operation increased from 140 resorts in Q4-2020 to 161 resorts in Q4-2021.

Moreover, the construction sector recovered moderately in Q4-2021 where the import of construction-related items increased by 62% year-on-year with the contribution of public infrastructure projects and private residential and

Corporate Maldives GOLD 100

property development projects. Furthermore, activities in the wholesale and retail trade sector have also expanded during Q4-2021 supported by the strong growth of the tourism sector and overall increase in domestic demand. Such as the private sector imports excluding imports by the tourism sector increased by 73% in annual terms. Besides, the fisheries sector had an annual decline of 34% in Q3-2021 which worsened further in Q4-2021 where the volume of fish exports also declined by 24% in comparison to Q4-2020.

The revenue of the government excluding grants increased by MVR 1.1billion in Q3 2021 in comparison to Q32020 totalling to MVR 5.0 billion contributed by a major increase in tax and non-tax revenues. This is the result of a significant increase in both tax revenue and non-tax revenue where tax revenues reflected an annual increase of MVR 445.8 million, a 74% increase compared to Q32020. The increased tax collections was mainly due to the recovery of the tourism sector where the tourism goods and services (T-GST) accounted for MVR 724.6 million which is the main single source of income for the government. Moreover, with the recovery of domestic demand, the import duties observed an annual increase of MVR 415.0 million. In addition, the largest increase within the non-tax category is the collection of rent from resorts accounting for an increase of MVR 535.0 million in Q3-2021 compared to Q3-2020.

The total government expenditure excluding debt amortization recorded an increase in annual terms of MVR 990.1 million and totalling to MVR 8.5 billion in Q3-2021. This is mainly due to the significant increase in recurrent expenditure amounting to MVR 751.6 million and capital expenditure of MVR 238.5 million. Furthermore, the rise in expenditure on other infrastructure assets, and expenditure on roads, bridges, and airports amounted to MVR 344.2 million and MVR 247.4 million respectively.

Composition of Imports (miilion of US dollars)

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the economy decreased to 0.1% in Q4-2021 from 0.5% in Q3-2021 as the price pressures decreased in most of the categories of CPI mainly contributed by the decline of prices of information and communication services where the cost of information and communication services fell by 14.1%. Besides, energy sub-category inflation contributed 0.15 percentage points to inflation with a 32% increase in petrol prices while food inflation rose by 2.4% with higher import prices, rise in global food and energy prices, and foreign exchange shortages along with effects related to COVID-19 policy measures and increased domestic demand.

The annual monetary developments in broad money growth accelerated to 27% by the end of December 2021. This was due to growth in local currency-denominated transferable deposits, savings, and timed deposits along with a growth in currency outside depository corporations. Additionally, a marginal increase was observed for foreign currency denominated demand deposits. Referring to the external trade, the total merchandise exports had an annual increase of 17% during Q4 2021 as a result of the significant increase in merchandise re-exports despite the decline in domestic exports.

Such as the merchandise re-exports rose by 158% during the quarter contributed by re-exports of jet fuel as a result of the major recovery of the tourism sector during the period. Moreover, the merchandise imports had a significant annual increase in major import categories petroleum products USD 80.2 million (137%), food items USD 79.1 million (81%), construction-related items USD 43.7 million (62%), transport equipment and parts USD 36.9 million (154%), and machinery and mechanical appliances USD 29.9 million (66.9%).

Budget

The 2022 budget will mainly focus on recurrent expenditures which account for MVR 24.8 billion of the budget. While MVR 12.2 billion has been set for capital expenditure, MVR 6.3 billion has been allocated for PSIP. Hence, with 17.03% of the total budget being allocated for PSIP, the budget complements the aims of the government to accomplish various development programs in the Maldives.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE

It is estimated that the government would receive MVR 24.28 billion as revenue and grants in 2022, of which tax revenue constitutes the major item. Government revenue is classified under three main headings – tax revenue, nontax revenue and grants.

The estimated budget for 2022 is MVR 37 billion, of which total expenditure is 34.1 billion. Total expenditure is calculated by deducting loan repayments and contributions to international financial institutions.

Government expenditure is made up of two main components; recurrent expenditure (expenditure incurred for the day-to-day running of the government and providing public services) and capital expenditure (expenditure on infrastructure projects and capital items such as machinery).

The estimated budget balance for 2022 is a deficit of MVR 9.8 billion. This deficit is financed through various financial instruments such as Bonds, Sukuk, Treasury Bills and other means of borrowings.

The overall budget balance is the difference between total revenues and grants, and expenditures. There will be a budget deficit if the total expenditures are higher than the total revenues and grants. The primary budget balance is the overall balance after deducting loan servicing costs.

Universal Enterprises is the pioneering force that transformed the Maldives from obscurity into one of the world’s most sought-after travel destinations, while actively diversifying across industries and service sectors. In the 1960s, an international development survey claimed the Maldives unsuitable for tourism. Few would have disagreed: the pristine archipelago was indisputably breathtaking, but with little national infrastructure to speak of. Nonetheless, a handful of like-minded entrepreneurs believed otherwise They could not have predicted the extent to which the Maldives would grow as a tourist magnet, but their bold initiative jump-started the development path that has placed the island nation on the map as one of the most desired travel destinations in the world.
