United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Ministry of Economic Development, on Tuesday, released the final report of the Rapid Livelihood Assessment on COVID-19 impacts in Maldives, revealing that Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) suffered the worst of the economic repercussions this year.

Efforts to compile the final report were concluded following the release of a preliminary assessment early June, with the aim of assisting the government to facilitate a quick economic response.

The report strives to provide recommendations for the country to effectively transition from "immediate response policies" to a "medium to long-term recovery agenda", realigning the island nation's efforts to achieve its Strategic Action Plan, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
