This article points to why Belize must get away from this operation model and let the Industry grow/expand and therefore modernize to play a role on the global market. These old ways of doing business are fast becoming poverty traps for all parties involved. It is time for BSI and GOB to realize that the people and country suffer because of bad trade policies and practices. For Industry to come to Belize and grow...a complete overhual of the country's economic model inclusive of the banking, trading agreements, education etc are needed urgently.
