Executive summary
Current state
World Bank has disbursed $11.66M to Maldives Ministry of Fisheries with $54M more available for private sector competitiveness, but the matching grant scheme requires SMEs to contribute 60% co-investment, creating a commercial gap where the Ministry has capital but lacks SME reach and SMEs need funding but lack application expertise.
Market catalyst
The Ministry needs to measure competitiveness improvements (bank credit, revenue, cost reduction) for grant evaluation but lacks standardized tools. The regulatory void exists between vague criteria and precise measurement methodology, allowing first-mover to establish the de facto standard.
