Today marks a proud and historic milestone for the nation as the Maldives is elected to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for the 2027–2029 term — for the first time in our 60 years of membership at the United Nations.
This achievement reflects the trust and confidence that the international community places in our nation and in our commitment to constructive multilateral engagement.
As a Small Island Developing State, the Maldives understands firsthand the urgent challenges faced by vulnerable nations, from climate change and economic resilience to sustainable development. Our seat at ECOSOC gives us a stronger platform to advocate for the priorities and aspirations of small island developing States and developing countries around the world.
Together with our partners, the Maldives will work to strengthen international cooperation, accelerate progress on sustainable development, and shape a ECOSOC that will result in fair finance, stronger delivery, and resilient futures.
Fitch’s rating upgrade is a strong indication of renewed confidence in the Maldives’ economic trajectory and reflects the impact of steady and responsible leadership during a particularly challenging period.
President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has demonstrated firm and consistent leadership in advancing fiscal reforms, strengthening macroeconomic stability, and restoring investor confidence. The upgrade represents meaningful recognition of the government’s ongoing efforts to reinforce economic resilience and ensure long term sustainability.
I extend sincere congratulations to President Dr. @MMuizzu on this significant milestone and commend his composure and resolve in addressing the inherited fiscal challenges, including the high level of unsustainable debt accumulated under the MDP government prior to November 2023
Fitch’s rating upgrade is a strong endorsement of President Dr. @MMuizzu’s economic leadership and the government’s reform agenda. Despite inheriting significant fiscal and external financing challenges, the administration has implemented decisive policy measures to strengthen fiscal sustainability, restore investor confidence, and enhance economic resilience. The upgrade reflects growing confidence in the Maldives economic fundamentals and its long-term growth prospects.
