Before his departure on an official trip to Seychelles this morning, President Mohamed Nasheed has said that the Maldivian economy will continue to suffer if the changes brought to it remain incomplete. Speaking on the raising prices of daily goods, the President highlighted on the importance of passing the tax bills that have been submitted to the parliament.
President Nasheed noted that the economic reform programme proposed by the government is one that will help in realizing the government’s key pledge of providing affordable living costs, with stabilization of prices. Speaking in this regard, the President said that it is equally important to decrease the expenditure in order to increase the income.
The President also highlighted on the training programmes the government has formulated for 8,500 youth, to facilitate them with job opportunities following their training.
