The Ministry of Finance and Planning has successfully completed the October 2025 coupon payment of USD 25 million on the Maldives’ USD 500 million Sukuk issued in 2021, reinforcing the nation’s steadfast commitment to meeting its financial obligations on schedule.
The Sukuk
carries semi-annual coupon payments due every April and October and is set to
mature in April 2026. According to the agreed repayment plan, the Ministry will
make the final coupon payment of USD 25 million along with the full principal
amount of USD 500 million at maturity next year.
Timely
fulfilment of debt obligations remains a key priority for the Government. The
successful completion of the latest coupon payment reflects the Ministry of
Finance and Planning’s continued efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and
uphold investor confidence in the Maldives’ financial credibility.
Reaffirming its
dedication to responsible debt management, the Ministry stated that it will
continue to focus on ensuring fiscal stability and sustaining the nation’s
creditworthiness as preparations advance for the final settlement of the Sukuk
in April 2026.
