Beyond daily news, Good Morning Maldives maintains a reference layer: dashboards of key indicators, profile pages for people and institutions, a tracker of major projects, and a library of primary documents. This page explains how that material is made, so anyone — a researcher, an analyst, an official — can judge it before they rely on it or cite it.

Indicators and dashboards

  • Source: Each figure is drawn from a named official source — for example the Maldives Monetary Authority, the Ministry of Finance, or the Ministry of Tourism — and we record that source with the number.
  • Revisions: Indicators are held as dated time series. When a source revises an earlier figure, we keep the history and mark the revision rather than overwriting it.
  • Cadence: Each indicator states how often it is updated and when it was last updated, so a reader can see whether a figure is current or awaiting release.
  • Provisional data: We distinguish provisional figures from final ones where the source does.

Entity pages

Entity pages (people, ministries, state-owned enterprises, companies, and international bodies) are compiled from our own reporting and from primary sources such as gazette notices, official appointments, financial statements, and contracts. Key facts carry an "as of" date and, where possible, a link to the source document. Each page shows when it was last reviewed.

Project tracker

Project entries record the parties (employer, contractor, financier), value, financing type, procurement method, and status. Status classifications — announced, under construction, delayed, completed, and so on — are applied from the best available evidence and updated as it changes; the change log on each project records what moved and when.

Limits

Maldivian public data is not always complete, timely, or consistent across sources. Where figures conflict, we say which source we used and why. Where data does not exist, we do not estimate it into being — we say it is unavailable. If you believe a figure or classification is wrong, tell us; corrections apply to the reference layer as they do to articles.
