Economy
The Maldives economy has been growing at an annual average of 10% for the past two decades. Tourism is the main industry, contributing close to 20% of the GDP. Maldives now receives over 400,000 tourists over the last ten years. Fisheries and trade follow close behind. Maldives exports canned tuna, dried and frozen fish, tropical aquarium fish and also fresh frozen Shashimi - all caught from the uncontaminated and chemical free waters of the Maldives. The Maldivian economy is regarded as exemplary in the region and welcomes foreign investment.
