The Maldives Pension Administration Office convened the 12th annual Maldives Finance Forum on Wednesday, drawing 110 delegates to Kurumba Maldives for a day of focused deliberation on “Building a Resilient and Inclusive Capital Market”. It was convened as part of the Pension Office’s ongoing initiative to strengthen the country’s financial infrastructure.
The forum, first launched in 2012, has become a cornerstone of the Pension Office’s strategy to address systemic challenges and foster innovation within the country’s financial sector. This year’s edition centred on the evolving needs of businesses, investors, and the general public, with discussions tailored to the unique contours of the domestic capital market.
Participants included representatives from government ministries, state-owned enterprises, and private financial institutions. The programme featured keynote speeches, technical presentations, and panel discussions designed to surface actionable solutions and promote cross-sector collaboration. Among those contributing to the dialogue was Henrique Cruz, an international investment management consultant with more than 31 years of experience.
Closing the event, Minister of Finance and Planning Moosa Zameer addressed the gathering, highlighting the strategic importance of such platforms in guiding the trajectory of the country’s financial system. He noted that sustained dialogue among stakeholders is essential to shaping a resilient and forward-looking economic framework.
The Finance Forum remains integral to the Pension Office’s broader mission of strengthening the national pension system. By convening diverse voices and fostering policy-oriented exchange, the forum continues to contribute meaningfully to the development of a sustainable financial future for the country.
