The Government has slashed rental fees for kiosks and stalls at Dhiveheenge Ufehduntherikamuge Maurazu 2025 (Maldives Expo 2025) to encourage greater participation from home-based producers and SMEs across the country. Rates in the Marketplace and other key districts, including the Digital and Innovative and Creative Economy zones, have been significantly reduced, with daily fees for home-based vendors now as low as MVR 444. The event, set for 23–31 May at Hulhumalé Central Park, is promoted as the Maldives' largest creativity exhibition and will accept applications on a first-come, first-served basis via www.expo.mv.
