GOB Needs $190
Million for 2006/2007 Debt Shortfall!
$190 million, that's how much government
needs to find to avert a sovereign default in the coming fiscal year.
That figure is contained in this draft report, the external debt
strategy compiled by a team of foreign experts from Houlihan, Lokey,
Howard and Zukin, a European Investment Bank. 7NEWS has obtained a copy
of the confidential report and it paints a worrying picture of Belize's
national debt service profile. For the upcoming fiscal year 2006 to
2007, the experts project that debt servicing will reach a record $280
million. According to Ministry of Finance figures, the government will
have just $90 million available for financing, leaving a financing gap
of $190 million. That's money that government doesn't have, in fact the
report states that the sum of principal and interest due to external
creditors during 2006/2007 is 250% of the available amount. More
