Bank of Maldives (BML) has concluded a series of non-deal roadshow meetings with institutional investors across major international financial centres as part of efforts to explore external financing opportunities through international debt capital markets.

The meetings were held from April 29 to May 8 in Singapore, Hong Kong and London. According to the bank, the proposed financing would support BML’s continued expansion, particularly its role in supporting the Maldives’ tourism sector.

BML stated that its tourism loan portfolio stood at USD 594 million by the end of April 2026, with approximately USD 35 million disbursed to the sector between January and April this year.

The roadshow follows what the bank described as the strongest financial performance in its 43-year history, with continued profitability, strong liquidity and capital levels above regulatory requirements. BML also noted that the bank currently has no external borrowings, positioning it favourably to access international markets.

Commenting on the initiative, BML CEO and Managing Director Mohamed Shareef said discussions with global investors reflected confidence in both the Maldives’ economic outlook and the bank’s financial position. He added that accessing international debt markets would help diversify the bank’s funding sources and strengthen support for key sectors, particularly tourism.
