BML reports strong investor interest during global roadshows
Bank of Maldives has concluded a series of non-deal roadshow meetings held across key international financial centres as part of its efforts to strengthen access to global funding markets.
The meetings were conducted between April 29 and May 8 in Singapore, Hong Kong and London, where the bank engaged with international investors and financial institutions.
According to BML, the initiative forms part of a broader strategy to secure external financial resources to support the expansion of banking services and increase financing for key sectors of the Maldivian economy, particularly tourism.
The bank reported that its total loan portfolio for the tourism sector reached USD 594 million by the end of April 2026.
Between January and April alone, USD 35 million was disbursed to the industry.
The roadshows come following what BML described as the strongest financial performance in the bank’s 43-year history.
The bank stated that its profitability, liquidity and capital adequacy ratios continue to remain above regulatory requirements.
BML also highlighted that it currently holds no external debt, positioning the institution favourably for entry into international financial markets and future fundraising opportunities.
The bank said discussions held with global investors generated encouraging interest, reflecting confidence in both the Maldivian economy and BML’s governance and financial stability.
According to BML, gaining access to international markets is expected to strengthen the bank’s funding capacity, enhance available financial resources and expand support for strategic sectors including tourism.
The bank further stated that it remains focused on achieving sustainable growth through strong risk management practices while reinforcing its role within the Maldivian financial system and delivering long-term value to shareholders.
