AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Electricity & Load Shedding: BEL says Mexico’s CFE may cut supply again, with tentative outages scheduled tonight across parts of Belmopan, San Pedro, San Ignacio, Corozal, Dangriga and along key highway corridors. Energy Policy & Costs: The debate over Belize’s power crisis continues as the Ministry of Transport rejects claims electric buses will strain the grid, saying charging will rely mainly on solar; meanwhile, an electricity “insider” column and a data-focused explainer argue the problem is long-building demand vs. limited domestic generation. LPG Price Cut: The Supplies Control Unit announces a 9-cent per gallon drop in controlled LPG prices effective today, with new retail rates for urban and rural areas. Tax & Business Tech: Belize Tax Service hosts an expo ahead of the e-invoicing transition, moving the voluntary phase toward next year’s mandatory rollout. Agriculture Biosecurity: Belize and regional partners strengthen disease surveillance; Belize hosts a Fruit Fly Commission meeting marking 50 years of Medfly control, and FAO/MAFSNGI train officers to protect the coconut industry from pests and disease. Trade & Skills Links: Belize and Taiwan expand cooperation, including a planned Taiwan Caribbean Co-Prosperity Academy in Belize with training for tourism, healthcare, food/nutrition, and smart agriculture. Consumer Pressure: SIB reports July inflation at 4.1%, with higher transport, housing utilities, electricity, water and food costs. Livestock Grant: CARICOM Development Fund executes US$1.11m for livestock and honey-linked resilience projects, plus market infrastructure support. Telecom Deal Ends: BTL withdraws its proposed Speednet acquisition from the PUC process. Tourism & Hospitality Growth: Fort George Hotel & Spa announces its new Signature Sea View Tower opening this fall.
