Balance of payments
The Maldives' balance of payments, published statistics from MMA, in millions of USD, 2026. Published annually. A goods-trade deficit is largely offset by a tourism-driven services surplus; the overall balance is what actually adds to or draws down reserves.
What makes up the current account
USD millions, 2026. Goods and services combine into the trade balance; income flows add investment and remittance activity.
Money crossing the border: receipts vs. payments abroad
USD millions, 2026, from the current account detail (table 13.2). Tourism dominates what the country earns abroad; remittances and investment income are the largest outflows.
Financial account: capital flowing in and out
USD millions, 2026. A negative figure means the country received more foreign investment than its residents sent abroad: net capital flowing in.
