GOB To IMF: We Missed
Fiscal Deficit Target This year, under pressure from the IMF,
government committed that it would reign in the spiraling deficit to
3.6% of GDP. Well, last week when the IMF team made its regular visit,
Prime Minister and minister of Finance Said Musa gave them the bad
news: things change; the final deficit will be more like 5.6% of GDP.
And what does government blame it on? Well, that catch all culprit:
rising world fuel prices. Government told the IMF that it lost US$25
million in taxes from fuel when it had to absorb increases to keep the
price for a gallon of gas close to $10. More
Voting: some Belizeans more equal than others Candidates and officials in seven towns and
two cities are gearing up
for elections on March first... but while all eyes are on the municipal
balloting, a look at the national voter's list reveals that the
elaborate redistricting exercise conducted over the last two years has
produced a situation in which--once again--voters living outside Belize
City are being shafted. More
Tourism
Police Unit helps industry and publicWhen it was first introduced, the idea of a
special law enforcement
unit dedicated to tourism was considered somewhat radical... but today
the sight of these uniformed men and women is both commonplace and
welcomed by both visitors and locals. Ten years ago the Tourism Police
Unit was established to assist the
tourism industry and its growing number of visitors. The forty-seven
men and women who do the work are all full time police officers who
have been trained and have the powers of arrest. More
Million dollar investment improves poultry industry Whether you like it fried, baked, or
barbequed, chicken is what’s for
breakfast, lunch and dinner in Belize. Local officials contend that
every year Belizeans consume an average of ninety-six pounds of chicken
per person.
And today, the official opening of a new processing facility in the north ensured that we won’t be running out of the popular birds any time soon. During ceremonies in Blue Creek this morning, Caribbean Chicken opened the doors to its largest ever investment: a two million dollar state of the art factory designed to improve capacity, safety, and efficiency. More Warmer Seas Will Wipe Out Plankton, Source of Ocean Life ![]() Scientists have discovered a way that the
vital plankton of
the oceans
can be starved of nutrients as a result of the seas getting warmer.
They believe the findings have catastrophic implications for the entire
marine habitat, which ultimately relies on plankton at the base of the
food chain.
The study is also
potentially devastating because it has thrown up a new "positive
feedback" mechanism that could result in more carbon dioxide ending up
in the atmosphere to cause a runaway greenhouse effect. More
