Economic Ministry engages TikTok on monetisation opportunities for Maldivian creators

Officials from the Ministry of Economic Development have met with a senior delegation from TikTok to explore opportunities for generating revenue in the Maldives through the platform.

The meeting focused on new avenues for digital monetisation and enabling local content creators to earn income via TikTok.

The Economic Ministry said the President’s vision is to build a fully productive economy, which is also an important component of his electoral manifesto.

Economic Minister Mohamed Saeed has earlier said that although the Maldives has a large pool of talented creator, the lack of monetisation challenge remain a key challenge. He said discussions had been initiated with TikTok’s regional offices to explore the beneficial opportunities for the Maldives.

Earlier, discussions were held on the introduction of other social media platforms and PayPal deposit and withdrawal services in the Maldives.
