The Maldives has propelled itself to middle-income status despite its geographic constraints and the risks it faces as a small island economy.

How can the Maldives sustain and improve the pace of its economic growth and reduce poverty and inequality? This report identifies the critical constraints to inclusive growth and discusses policy options to overcome such constraints.
