What happened
Belize joined regional efforts to strengthen investment facilitation through discussions held at the World Trade Organization’s Public Forum in Geneva, Switzerland. Narda Garcia, Chief Executive Officer in the Office of the Prime Minister, represented Belize at the forum. The discussions focused on the WTO’s Investment Facilitation for Development Agreement and the creation of a Regional Network for Investment Facilitation and Promotion in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Why it matters
The proposed network is intended to strengthen regional collaboration on investment facilitation, supporting practical reforms and building institutional capacity across Latin America and the Caribbean. The Inter-American Development Bank has been involved in supporting this initiative.
The Latin America and Caribbean regions are facing shared economic challenges related to growth and productivity, compounded by the inability of development banks to bridge private capital shortfalls.
