| Summary: | There is an urgent need to re-establish a viable external position through a comprehensive, swift, and sustained policy adjustment. The fiscal adjustment will need to rest on both wide-ranging tax revenue measures and substantial expenditure restraint, including a freeze of current expenditure.

Belize statistical information is inadequate to monitor macroeconomic developments sufficiently. |
