Maldives raises $100 mln with private placement in Abu Dhabi -sources
Reuters Staff

2 Min Read

ABU DHABI, May 2 (Reuters) - The Maldives is raising $100 million with the private placement of a sovereign bond to the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

The Maldives government announced plans in 2016 to sell sovereign bonds to help raise finances for its ambitious infrastructure development programme.

The dollar-denominated will become the first sovereign bond to be listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) when the planned listing takes place on Thursday.

First Abu Dhabi bank was the book runner for the bond, which has a five-year maturity with a 5.5 percent yield, the sources said.

Fitch Ratings assigned the bond a final rating of ‘B+’.

An ADX official confirmed the listing of the bond for the Maldives government, but declined to give details.

The Maldives issued a $200 million, five-year, debut sovereign bond last year at a coupon rate of 7 percent per annum with Hong Kong-based BoCom International Holdings Co Ltd as the global coordinator for the debt sale.

It's not really India's 'failure', it's the fact that these countries in India's neighbourhood are full of very insecure, petty, oligarchic, elite leaders and some intelligentsia. Such countries will gravitate toward China, particularly when they see some similarities in China itself, and when China offers big capital.

Maldives snubs India, inks deal with Pakistan to cooperate in power sector

In a major setback to India, Pakistan and the Maldives have inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to support the island nation's infrastructure development in power sector.

A four-member delegation of Maldives State Electric Company (STELCO), headed by its chairman Ahmed Aiman, was on a six-day state visit to Pakistan to learn from the experience of the country's Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) and benefit from its technical and human capabilities, according to the local media reports.

The delegation met WAPDA chairman Muzammil Hussain at Wapda House in Lahore in Pakistan's Punjab province.

Ahmed noted that STELCO which is the largest power producing company of Maldives is keen to learn from WAPDA.

The MoU will facilitate the participation of STELCO staff in training activities of WAPDA, implementation of staff exchange programmes, participation in experience sharing and institution-building activities, exposure visits and facilitation of leadership development programmes, as per reports.

:facepalm: Lol! These Paki mullahs can't even get their own crumbling power infrastructure up and running and they're going to help Maldives??
o_O They need to get their own house in order first. Typical case of the blind leading the blind!

When we put a blockade on their tiny island, jungle bunnies will run out of food, petrol and fresh water. Then PLAN armada will face the choice of entering a pincer trap around the Straits of Malacca to bail them and get battered to oblivion or beat a retreat. That's why Male has still engaged in EEZ patrols with IN.

Supreme Court will become Modi's bitch soon. CJ of many courts are now in GoI hand. Delhi feminist CJ got booted to black hole of J&K HC. Next CJ is a pro govt SOB. Award wapsi gang will get snuffed out like ABP news.

Blockades are not put for fun, they're put during war.

Give me one good reason why will PLAN will try to fight with us for Maldives, when they can put sanctions through UN and WTO!?

Why do we need to put blockade around Maldives in the first place!?

Coming to patrol, Maldives does with IN for good reasons, we've averted coup attempt and saved Maldives from disasters. We also have a strong Navy and huge industry and good merchant navy to export and import stuff. No other country in the IOR had enough resources to match/compete with the deals and market we can provide. China with its money begun to woo other countries(bribe their officials). Tempted by the Chinese gifts and other favors, Maldives govt begun to whine and bitch like some of our neighbors....

I am yet to understand the dire consequences of Chinese surrounding us in IOR....

Dude are you seriously retarded? US is in North America but can deploy it's Navy everywhere due to vast no. of overseas bases and rapid warship construction. In China warships construction is nearly matching US, sometimes even outpacing it. Every island nation you can coerce, you gain atleast 1 naval dockyard and supply point with which you can spread your influence. Why do you think Modi is running around abroad trying to secure bases for IN?

Maldives is dead if it tries any stupid games. Our massive Navy (Even better ships U/C) will deal death and destruction to PLAN relief armada.

I am not retard, but I don't understand the point of Chinese having bases in IOR.

During peace times, these bases will serve as refill stations for both military and merchant vessels.

From Trade point of view China didn't get any monetary benefits in the name of Hambantota port.

During wartimes these bases would be destroyed before China could provide any protection.

I am an enthusiast unable to come terms with "what is the need of military base which will act as refuelling port during peace times and will be destroyed within 24 hrs of war!?"

I understand the importance of having a base like Assumption Island, because none of our enemies can destroy it(using conventional weapons) with 24 hrs. In case of war with China, Hambantota or any naval base given to Chinese within 1500 km of Indian borders will not survive the first few days of war...We can justify our actions by pointing that they're helping our enemy and chinese ships were spotted in those harbors. None of our neighbor's air forces can stop us if we decide to destroy their ports

Maldives is dead if it tries any stupid games..
Our massive Navy (Even better ships U/C) will deal death and destruction to PLAN relief armada.
Are you proposing the invasion of Maldives!? If so on what context!? How will you justify the invasion!? How do you convince UN that you're actions are totally worth.

Do you plan on annexing Maldives or just teaching a lesson, i.e Invade and then return back!? What would we gain from those actions!!?? Does it solve any of our problems!!??

You're kind of vague about Maldives doing something stupid. Can you please be more specific!!?? Do you have any assumed red lines, that if Maldives crossing will lead to war!!??
What are the chances/circumstances that might lead to Maldives crossing red lines assumed by you


Maldives is dead if it tries any stupid games. Our massive Navy (Even better ships U/C) will deal death and destruction to PLAN relief armada.
Why will PLAN send it's relief Armada when it can cause more damage by imposing sanctions in UN and WTO for invading Maldives!!

China never came to rescue Pak, why will it come now!!

Why PLAN has to come and get thrashed in absence of their air cover!!??

Islamic countries understand only one language: force.

Diplomacy does not work with them. Reasoning does not. Compromise doesn't. Only a show of strength.

Dude you need to chill a little. You have some serious inferiority complex vis-a-vis China. Yes they are powerful. Yes they are 20 years ahead of us in economic development level. But the way you say "Indian forces are very very weak against China", you make it sound like the Indian Armed Forces are a bunch of walkovers.


ndia should us USA power to change the game . we should use USA in nepal , SL, China
We should not develop an over-dependence on USA for all our core interests. USA is a maverick and an extra-regional power, so our interest will not always align. Japan will be a better strategic partner for us in countering China in our own backyard.

A naval Base offshore allows for massive power projection if you have a CBG. In 2020s like USN , PLAN will have at least 4 - 5 CBG for rapid deployment. If this is allowed, then a two pronged attack from PLAN and PN with regard to India is inevitable during a conflict. Thus nip the problem in the bud by removing the Chicom friendly players from the board.

A blockade is the most bloodless way to severely damage a small country's economy if they have ego issues. US put blockade on Cuba and since then Communist Cuba has turned into a a shithole.

China can't do jackshit in UN regarding sanctions. US is breathing down their necks with tariffs and whole world is wary of them. Even Russians are deeply distrustful of Chinese intentions.

Red line by Maldives is using force or detaining the 50 odd personnel from Indian Navy on the island. That will be seen as an act of war and invitation to topple govt. Basically they are a bunch of lower class people trying to be oversmart because they have a new rich patron who is enemies/hostile with you.

I know but a stronger posture is required. Scaring them with show of force is necessary.
