The Branch made a humble beginning with a staff strength of 6 employees and a capital of 100,000 Rufiyaa. The major task of the Branch was to look after Government imports and exports, through a standby credit line established at our London Office and act as Bankers’ to the Government. The Branch handled all banking activities of the Government of Maldives until the setting up of the Central Bank viz. the Maldives Monetary Authority in 1982.
