The Maldives Financial Expo returned on Thursday after a nine-year hiatus, with President Dr Mohamed Muizzu inaugurating the three-day event at Hulhumalé Central Park.

Organised by the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA), the expo is being held from July 2 to 4 and is open to the public daily from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

The Maldives Financial Expo brings together key stakeholders from the country's financial sector, including commercial banks, insurance companies, financial service providers, regulatory authorities, and Government institutions under one roof.

Held under the theme "Empowering Sustainable Futures: Inclusion, Innovation and Intelligence," the expo aims to provide the public with easier access to information on financial products and services while promoting financial literacy and inclusion.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to engage directly with participating institutions and learn more about the services they offer.

Following the inauguration ceremony, President Dr Muizzu toured the exhibition and visited the participating stalls.
