		The sooner the people of Maldives become master of their own fate and captain of their own destiny, the developments that are claimed to have taken place may help the system in Maldives to be more egalitarian than what it is now.

		The Republic of Maldives has been in a state of unrest for over a year now due to repeated agitations by large sections of Male, which have been accusing the President of ruling dictatorially and suppressing all political dissidents with the help of the NSS.
		August 13th Black Friday's crackdown in Maldives may have been a measure out of the regimes desperation to stay in power, but now President Gayyoom is using the opportunity to brutalize and torture the country's intelligentsia and the many businesses that had done well in spite of his nearly three-decades rule.
		Demonstrations in the Maldives are rare, and the fact that this latest one is considered so threatening by the government and has been joined by former senior members of the government indicates that perhaps now public opposition to the status quo and desire for democracy has reached a critical mass.

		Since mid-2001, the MMA has introduced several reforms aimed at eliminating direct monetary controls, which have greater potential to become subordinate to government fiscal needs, towards increased reliance on market-based indirect instruments.
		This has contributed to undermining the Maldives' international competitiveness, especially in fishing and tourism, and discouraged new exports and economic diversification. The Government's capital and current expenditures increased imports and created excess demand for foreign currency at the fixed exchange rate.
		The MMA was established in 1981 (Maldives Monetary Authority Act) principally to issue currency and regulate the exchange rate; advise government on banking and monetary policy; supervise and regulate banking to provide a sound financial structure; and to promote the international stability of the currency.
