Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) has announced the final call for people to withdraw funds from the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).

A statement released by MMA noted that there are funds from 27 years ago and that the Authority has been working towards returning the money since 1995. MMA noted that there are various people that have not repossessed their funds even after announcements have been made.

The final date for collection of funds is set to be by the end of March 2019. While the Male' branch of BCCI shutdown after the bank went bankrupt in 1991, MMA took over the responsibility of handling the bank's depositors and creditors.
