Addressing the media at his office in December last year, Maldivian President, Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, stated that the nation’s economy had reached pre-pandemic levels in 2022. This capped off a remarkable turnaround after the pandemic as well as the conflict in eastern Europe, both of which significantly affected the local economy. This growth is set to continue this year too with an expected economic growth of 7.6% in 2023.
It was further revealed that the country was listed amongst the top five of the world’s fastest-growing economies in 2021 and 2022. While sound economic policies helped in this growth, the main reason for this substantial development was due to the recovery of the tourism industry. In fact, the nation reached its arrivals goal of 1.6 million tourists in 2022, while this year’s target is set to 1.8 million. 5-star resorts in Maldives continue to be a popular choice for travellers including the likes of Adaaran Prestige Water Villas that let guests experience the best of this tropical destination.
