Maldives: Technical Assistance Report-Financial Soundness Indicators Mission
International Monetary Fund. Statistics Dept.
This Technical Assistance report on the Maldives discusses the findings and recommendations of financial soundness indicators (FSI) statistics mission. The mission, in collaboration with the staff of the Maldives Monetary Authority, updated the existing bridge tables to compile FSIs for deposit takers (DT) and developed new ones for insurance corporations, other financial corporations and households for reporting to IMF’s Statistics Department. The mission found that source data for compiling FSIs for DTs, and ICs are broadly adequate and generally meet the criteria established by the 2019 FSIs Guide for publication on the FSIs data portal. The commercial banks operating in Maldives have already adopted the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9). The capital adequacy ratios of banks followed mainly the Basel I framework. The definitions of nonperforming loans and liquid assets are reviewed during the mission and recommendations are provided to update the definitions in line with the 2019 FSIs Guide and IFRS 9. The mission also recommends the publication of the new metadata and institutional coverage report forms accompanying the publication of FSIs.
