13th Maldives Finance Forum Kicks Off with Focus on Green Financing

The 13th edition of the Maldives Finance Forum has officially commenced, aimed at expanding green finance and safeguarding long-term financial security across the nation.

Jointly organized by the Maldives Pension Administration Office (MPAO) and UNDP Maldives, this year's forum is being held under the theme "Green Finance: Fostering Sustainable Investments and Financial Resilience in the Maldives."

The primary objective of the forum is to develop the domestic green finance market, unlock viable opportunities for sustainable investments, and host high-level discussions vital for bolstering the country’s economic resilience and enduring financial security.

The event convenes policymakers, financial regulators, financial institutions, and industry specialists from both the Maldives and the international arena. Participants are set to engage in extensive discussions and share data-driven insights into practical measures and strategies for unlocking long-term sustainable capital required for national economic growth.

As the country’s largest institutional investor, the Pension Office emphasized that safeguarding and growing members' retirement savings over the long term requires a robust economy alongside a diversified investment landscape. In this regard, expanding sustainable investment avenues through green finance is viewed as a crucial catalyst for developing the Maldivian capital market.

According to the latest figures from the Pension Office, the Maldives Retirement Pension Scheme (MRPS) had 204,549 members as of the end of September 2026, with total assets managed under the pension fund standing at MVR 30.3 billion.
