Political consensus necessary for success of SEZs, cautions MMA governor

Political consensus is necessary for special economic zones (SEZs) to be successful and beneficial to the nation, Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) Governor Dr Azeema Adam has cautioned.
Speaking at a forum on state broadcaster Television Maldives (TVM) last night, Dr Azeema said one of the most important prerequisites for successful enactment of the SEZ Act was stability and consensus “on a political and national level.”
“If SEZ becomes caught up in political waves, it will not bear fruit,” she warned.
“Political confrontations must come to an end for investors to come to the country, to ensure investor confidence, and for jobs to be created for Maldivians.”
