Belize is a Caribbean nation on the northeastern coast of Central America, known for its diverse ecosystems and the massive Belize Barrier Reef. Its commercial center is Belize City, while Belmopan serves as the garden-city capital. With a population of approximately 415,000, the economy is primarily driven by tourism, agriculture, and services. Major exports include cane sugar, bananas, citrus, and marine products. In 2026, the economy continues to strengthen through strategic investments in “blue bond” conservation and a growing business process outsourcing (BPO) sector.
