Tax Administration Reform in the Maldives
Bertsch, Natalie; Miyaki, Yuji; Serrat, Olivier | June 2015
Abstract
In 2009, the
Government of the Maldives and the Asian Development Bank
(ADB) linked arms to push an economic recovery program. The
outcome, validated as successful by independent evaluation
in 2014, was greater fiscal space in the budget and financial
flexibility through a more diversified tax base and rationalized
expenditure, better debt management, more efficient privatization of state-owned enterprises, and deepening of the
financial market with the issuance of treasury bills and bonds.
