My finance minister is telling me that he has an anonymous funds manager who is willing to deposit 4 billion dollars in Maldives and that they are willing to lend a percentage of that in exchange for government promissory notes. The 4 billion would be deposited in the Central Bank. But they want us to set up a special purpose vehicle, a construction company fully owned by the government to receive the loan. Such a company can only be set up under a presidential decree. I am also told that the funds manager would be charging Maldives upfront a certain percentage of the amount lent. I don't feel I have enough information on this. I don't know who is this funds manager. They always want the finance minister to meet them in Bangkok or some place outside. Why would anyone want to deposit such a large amount here when we don't have a credit rating and public debt is so high. I feel very uncomfortable about this. What do you think I should do. Iam very uncomfortable. In addition to the finance minister, a leading politician and leader of the coalition parliamentary group is behind it. He could be my leading contender for presidency. Does this sound all ridiculous to you. I have a strange feeling about this whole thing. Best regards Waheed Sent from President's iPad On Jan 18, 2013, at 5:0
