MDP: Economy is suffering due to the State of Emergency

Opposition party MDP has said that the economy is suffering incomprehensible damage due to the current State of Emergency declared in the country.

Speaking at a press conference held by the MDP’s Economic Council, Ahmed Thasmeen Ali said that the party is concerned about the incomprehensible damage to the country’s economy due to current State of Emergency.

MDP said that the losses on the tourism industry due to the State of Emergency declared this month could destroy the whole economy.

“30 percent of the nation’s productivity is tourism. But since this is high season, due to the State of Emergency, people in the tourism industry are sharing their concerns about the cancellation of bookings in the resorts with this party.” Thasmeen said.

And also a large number of booking are being cancelled from guesthouses, says Thasmeen, and that would cause losses to the people in the business.

MDP called to revoke the State of Emergency as soon as possible.
