The 60-second version

Maldives brokerage exit needs sell MSE holdings, broker tax summary, depot termination letter, and MVR USD SWIFT to NRE — market is thin with few listed names.

MSE turnover is thin — tourism-sector payroll may credit same MVR account as depot

MCB Capital Markets and MIB Securities serve MSE custody — obtain trade summary before depot closure.

MVR may need USD conversion before SWIFT to NRE — tourism resort payroll often USD-denominated at bank.
