The Maldives Pension Administration Office (MPAO) has opened applications to appoint two private sector representatives to its Board of Directors.

The office said the vacancies will be filled through a selection process conducted by a committee, with the final three shortlisted candidates to be verified by the Capital Market Development Authority (CMDA).

Applicants must be Maldivian citizens aged over 35, hold a first degree in economics, business or law with at least five years of experience, and must not be employed by the government or a government-controlled company.

Applications must be submitted through the online form provided by the Pension Office before 2:00 p.m. on 16 July. Information on board responsibilities and the selection criteria is available on the office's website.

The Maldives Pension Administration Office has managed the country's pension system since 2009. Under the law, it is governed by an eight-member board, including four private sector representatives appointed by the President.
