AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Telecom Deal Watch: Belize Telemedia (BTL) Chairman Markhelm Lizarraga says Cabinet concerns over its proposed Speednet/SMART acquisition are being addressed, but social partners insist they still haven’t received valuation and key financial reports and want all four groups included in Cabinet talks. Labour Signal: The Belize Communications Workers’ Union says 84% of members no longer support the Speednet acquisition, citing job security, governance, disclosure, and consultation worries. Environment & Food Industry: Belize’s Department of the Environment is sending fish-kill samples abroad while investigating the Belize River Valley die-off; Santander Sugar Group denies routine process-water discharge into the river and says its system is closed-loop. Agriculture Tech: Drones are changing rice farming in southern Belize, boosting efficiency but reducing the need for field workers. Policy & Trade: The U.S. adds a four-year Section 201 safeguard tariff-rate quota on quartz surface products starting Aug. 15, with duties rising after quarterly quota use. Finance & Digital Banking: Belize Bank inks a six-year partnership with Backbase to roll out an AI-native digital banking platform for retail and business customers. Public Health Law: Belize’s Tobacco Control Bill advances with broad House support, tightening smoking bans and restricting tobacco and vaping sales.
