The Ministry of Finance's weekly fiscal report shows that the state received a total of MVR 13.6 billion as of the 16th of this month, leaving the budget with a surplus of MVR 1.6 billion.

According to the report for the 15th week of 2026, this total revenue marks an 11.6% increase compared to the MVR 12.2 billion received during the same period last year. Tax revenue accounted for MVR 10.9 billion, representing a 19.7% growth over last year's MVR 9.1 billion.

The most significant growth originated from Tourism Goods and Services Tax (TGST), which brought in MVR 4.3 billion—a 17.5% increase from the previous year. Additionally, the report noted that Green Tax generated MVR 768.0 million (up 33.5%), while Departure Tax contributed MVR 649.5 million (up 39.1%).

Total expenditure reached MVR 12.0 billion, which is 16.9% higher than last year. While recurrent expenditure stood at MVR 10.6 billion, capital expenditure rose by 39.9% to reach MVR 1.3 billion. Among expenditures, the highest increase was seen in subsidies, with MVR 1.4 billion spent—a 36.2% rise compared to the previous year.

The report also highlighted structural adjustments: following instructions issued by the President’s Office on the 15th of this month regarding changes to the Cabinet and institutional frameworks, the organization of ministries has been updated. Furthermore, due to changes in the block grant policy for the Department of Judicial Administration, that department's expenses have been removed from the budget tables effective from the 9th of this month.
