MOF said that the founding nations of the bank are expected to complete negotiations over and subscription of the bank's charter and regulations before June this year.


A MOF statement also said that the Maldives has become the latest prospective founding member of the bank after a consensus was reached among the 22 existing members on Dec. 31.
