Maldives Finance Forum 2026 to Focus on Green Finance and Sustainable Investment

The Maldives Finance Forum 2026 is set to be held tomorrow at Dusit D2 Feydhoo, aimed at sustainable investment and financial security. Organised by the Maldives Pension Administration Office and UNDP Maldives, the forum has been held every year since 2012, and this is the 13th meeting in the series. This year's forum is specially dedicated to the theme "Green Finance: Ensuring Sustainable Investments and Financial Security in the Maldives." According to the Pension Office, experienced figures in the financial sector, regulatory bodies, various government institutions, businesses, as well as development partners will participate in the forum. The Pension Office said views can be exchanged in a broad scope on ways in which green finance can be used in strengthening the economy of a small island nation vulnerable to environmental changes such as the Maldives. In its capacity as the largest institutional investor in the Maldives, the role of the Pension Office can be noted quite significantly. According to the office's statistics, by the end of last September, the fund of the Maldives Retirement Pension Scheme had reached 30.3 billion rufiyaa, while 204,549 people have participated in the scheme. The Pension Office holds that a strong economy is absolutely necessary to maintain the value of retirement funds. Among the forum's sessions are a presentation on the importance of green finance, and panel discussions on the impacts of climate change on households, small businesses and islands. In a roundtable meeting involving regulatory bodies, discussions can be held regarding the legal and administrative framework. In addition, the experience of small island nations and emerging markets can be shared. The forum will be concluded with a special panel session on ways in which climate challenges can be turned into business opportunities. Arrangements have been made for all sessions of this forum to be viewed live through the Pension Office's social media platforms.
