The Maldives has made rapid progress in recent years to become a middle-income country and at present, showcases the highest per-capita GDP in the South Asian region. Consequently, both Maldivian businesses as well as entrepreneurs have been actively engaged in real estate investments in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and many other countries. For most Maldivians, Sri Lanka has been the perennial favourite second home destination. The Maldivian population resident in Colombo is estimated at between 11,000 – 16,000 and over 76,000 Maldivians have already visited Sri Lanka in 2018.

The event will be honoured with the presence of members from the political leadership in the Maldives, as well as benefit from industry experts that include Dr. Anil Priyanka Beddevithana (RIU),  Nadeem Shums (John Keells Holdings), Shivanka De Zoysa (Access Engineering), Dishni de Thabrew (Capitol Developers), Shehana Brahmanage (Prime Group)  and Roshan Madawela (RIU).

This limited seat seminar will include panel sessions and presentations which will discuss the real estate investment era of Sri Lanka, with a specific focus on the residential market in Colombo, regulations and support system for Maldivian nationals in Sri Lanka and simply demystifying the investment proposition.
