Belize Pushes to Be the Region’s Investment Jewel

The Belize Investment Summit 2025 will take place from 3 to 5 September in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye. The event will be hosted by the Office of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance, Investment, and Economic Development. It’s objective? To attract both local and foreign investors.

“This is the third investment summit we’re having,” said Nikki Augustine, Communications Manager at BELTRAIDE. “Our theme for this year is ‘Bridging Markets, Building Resilience.’ We want to show Belize as the nexus, connecting CARICOM and Central American countries. Our proximity to the US makes Belize an ideal nation for doing business.”

Building on previous summits, this year’s event will focus on forging partnerships and exploring new investment opportunities. Augustine added, “We’re also looking at what’s happening globally and what that might mean to Belize. It actually makes Belize a much more attractive country, especially logistically.”

“Belize has an objective to become an investment hub for Central America by the year 2030,” said Lincoln Blake, Director of the Investment Policy and Compliance Unit.

Blake added that beyond presentations, “the summit has created an environment for investors and senior government officials and technocrats to meet and “make investments happen.”

He stated that even small businesses attend the summit to connect with potential investors and explore equity opportunities, as well as to gain new ideas for their projects.
