K. Maafushi has become the first location outside Malé City to receive a dollar ATM service, fulfilling a pledge by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. The installation supports Maafushi's extensive dollar transactions and aims to bolster the island's economic development.

During the presidential election campaign in K. Guraidhoo on August 19, 2023, President Muizzu committed to installing dollar ATMs on Maafushi Island. He reiterated this promise in the 'Raees ge Javaabu' Q&A series on February 15, 2024, responding to a question from a local resident.

The introduction of the dollar ATM is part of President Muizzu's broader initiatives to enhance the nation's economy and provide modern, reliable financial transaction systems.

The past six months have seen significant progress in these efforts, with the dollar ATM installation marking a key milestone.
