Banks Remain Operational Despite Gov’t Declaring Public Holiday 

The Maldives Islamic Bank (MIB) and the Bank of Maldives (BML) have announced that their services will remain operational today despite the government declaring a public holiday due to severe weather conditions.

The decision to keep banks open follows an announcement by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu last evening, declaring a public holiday in response to heavy rainfall that has caused significant flooding across the country. The Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA), the central bank, has authorised commercial banks to continue providing services to the public during the holiday.

The public is advised to check with their respective banks for any specific branch information or service updates.
