IMF Executive Board Concludes 2024 Article IV Consultation with Belize

May 15, 2024
Real GDP growth and inflation moderated in 2023. After growing by 8.7 percent in 2022, real GDP grew by 4.7 percent in 2023, led by tourism, construction, retail and wholesale trade, transport, and business process outsourcing. Inflation declined from 6.3 percent in 2022 to 4.4 percent in 2023, driven by lower prices of transport and utilities, partly offset by higher food inflation. The fiscal position remained strong, but debt dynamics have become more challenging. The overall fiscal deficit widened due to a narrowing of the primary surplus and higher interest payments on the blue loan and other external debt. Consequently, after the acquisition of the Port of Belize and the settlement of outstanding litigations with a foreign investor, public debt declined slightly from 67 percent in 2022 to 66 percent of GDP in 2023.
