Exports like sugar, bananas, and fish contrast with imports of fuel, creating trade deficits. High poverty and unemployment persist, alongside labor shortages. Recent developments include oil discoveries and an ecotourism boom, attracting foreign investment. Belize focuses on sustainable tourism and infrastructure improvements to drive growth, leveraging its natural beauty and strategic location despite challenges like limited infrastructure and economic diversification.
