New Delhi: Maldives top businessman Mohamed Ali Janah who is on an India visit has said that his country is seeing an economic recovery even as the impact of COVID pandemic subsides.
The Maldives, which is largely dependent on tourism, was greatly impacted due to the crisis.
Expressing confidence, Janah while speaking to WION said, "We have been able to manage things. On the economic front, we were hit very badly. Restaurants, boating were hit very badly. In the early stages, they had to close for a prolonged period of time."
"Gradual recovery is happening now. Would not say people were not hit. Industries have been hit very badly but the good news is we are on a recovery path. Next year and 2023 will be very good for the Maldives. In the worst of times, we have managed in a way beyond people's expectations," he explained.
