Belize and the wider Caribbean are holding a series of meetings with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to discuss special vulnerability and debt relief. Belize as a low-lying coastal nation, also sits in the path of hurricanes and other natural phenomena such as flooding caused by climate change. And over the past thirty years, small islands and countries in this region have put forth the argument that their small economies do not allow for recovery from these recurring natural disasters without assistance. Belize ranks third in the region for being a risk for being impacted by a natural disaster and fifth for suffering from climate change effects. Combined with the wrath of Mother Nature is also the COVID pandemic and its impact on economies. Belize and these countries are looking for some debt relief, as Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance, Chris Coye explained to News Five today.
