The Maldives government has partnered with Dubai-based MBS Global Investments to launch a $9 billion initiative, the Maldives International Financial Centre (MIFC), set to be completed by 2030. This ambitious project aims to position Malé, the nation’s capital, as a global hub for cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, diversifying an economy currently reliant on tourism for over 60% of its revenue.

The move comes as the island nation grapples with significant debt, seeking innovative avenues for economic growth. The MIFC project underscores a strategic pivot toward digital finance, potentially attracting blockchain enterprises and crypto investors to the Indian Ocean archipelago.
