On 5 August 2025, UNDP Maldives and the Bank of Maldives (BML) held discussions on strategies to expand private sector access to sustainable finance.

The meeting focused on unlocking opportunities that enable businesses in the Maldives to align with global sustainability goals while fostering long-term economic growth. Building on UNDP’s ongoing work in renewable energy financing, the blue economy, and corporate sustainability, the dialogue explored how private sector engagement can accelerate the country’s transition to a greener, more resilient future.

By working together, UNDP and BML aim to catalyze financial mechanisms that empower businesses to invest in climate-smart solutions, strengthen resilience across sectors, and create inclusive growth opportunities for Maldivians.

This initiative reflects UNDP’s commitment to supporting the Maldives in achieving its sustainable development ambitions, while fostering strong partnerships with national stakeholders and the private sector.
