AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Electric Mobility in Belmopan: UNDP hosted an E-Mobility Data Insights conference in Belmopan, sharing results from Belize’s two-year electric bus pilot (five buses on city and highway routes) and pointing to long-term cost and environmental gains. Inflation Watch: The Statistical Institute of Belize says April inflation rose 2.9% year-on-year, driven mainly by transport (diesel up to $14.68/gal), plus higher food and electricity costs. Hurricane Season Prep: With the Atlantic season starting June 1, Belize’s NMS and NEMO urged households and businesses to update emergency plans and supplies as forecasts call for 8–14 named storms. Labour Crunch: Belize is seeing a growing shortage of manual and some skilled workers, pushing employers to import labour; the Ministry of Labour is also modernizing the outdated Labour Act. Public Transport Modernization: Cabinet approved measures including a concession framework to modernize the bus system, while the Belize Bus Association says it was left out of the EV bus pilot rotation. Agriculture Push: The Agriculture Ministry is moving to revive citrus and is distributing fertilizer and planting materials in southern districts to boost food production. Urban Planning for San Pedro: Authorities are moving toward an urban planning committee for San Pedro to curb haphazard high-rise and dock-related development. Energy Reliability: BEL reminded customers that brief storm-related power interruptions can be part of its protection system, and urged reporting outages via its app or hotline. Conservation Update: Friends for Conservation and Development opened a new ranger base near the Guacamallo bridge to support ongoing research in protected areas.
