BML concludes non-deal roadshow meetings with global investors

Bank of Maldives (BML) has successfully concluded a series of non-deal roadshow meetings with institutional investors as part of the Bank’s strategic initiative to explore opportunities for raising external financing through international debt capital markets.

The meetings with institutional investors were held between April 9^th and May 8^th across major international financial centres, including Singapore, Hong Kong, and London.

The proposed funding is intended to support the Bank’s continued growth strategy, with a particular emphasis on strengthening its position as a leading financial partner to the Maldives’ tourism industry, a key pillar of the national economy.

As of the end of April 2026, BML’s tourism sector loan portfolio stood at USD 594 million, with approximately USD 35 million disbursed between January and April this year alone. The continued financing reflects the Bank’s long-standing commitment to supporting growth and resilience within the sector.

The roadshow follows a milestone year for BML, during which the Bank recorded the strongest financial performance in its 43-year history.

BML continues to maintain strong profitability, healthy liquidity, and capital adequacy ratios that remain well above regulatory requirements. With no existing external borrowings, the Bank is positioned to access international markets from a position of financial strength.

Commenting on the development, BML’s CEO, Managing Director Mohamed Shareef said the engagements with global investors have been highly encouraging and reflect strong confidence in the Maldives’ economic outlook and the Bank’s solid fundamentals

“As we look to the future, accessing international debt markets represents a strategic step to diversify our funding base and scale up our support to key sectors, particularly tourism. We remain committed to delivering sustainable growth while maintaining our prudent risk management approach,” he added.

As BML progresses with its plans to access international debt markets, the Bank states it remains focused on delivering long-term value to its stakeholders while further strengthening its role as a cornerstone of the Maldivian financial system.
