Recently, the Central Bank of Belize noted that there is excess liquidity in Belize’s financial system.

However, it is concentrated in 1 local bank.

And the Prime Minister says that Belizeans want to invest but need funding.

“I wish there would be bit more, would be able loosen up a bit more to make funding more available and quicker to our citizens as there is a lot of needs, a lot of people wants to invest, a lot of people want to own their homes. But, we need to find ways how we can do that,” he said.
