Belize is bordered by Mexico to the North and Guatemala to the south and west on the Eastern coast of Central America. The country has a rich heritage and it both modern and dynamic. Belize is a member of the British Commonwealth and also a member of the IMF, United Nations and the WTO.  The currency of the country is the Belizean dollar which is tied to the US dollar at a rate of 2:1. It is a parliamentary democracy.

Belize exports agrarian goods and relies on tourism for its main revenue and its economy is stable. The Belizean economy is growing and the country is both socially and politically stable. There are very strict privacy laws in the country and it is a low tax jurisdiction. No banking details will be presented to parties from overseas without the issuance of a court order.

Belize was top of recent jurisdiction ratings that have been issued by New offshore jurisdiction ratings which have been issued by Guaranty Trust Ltd, a Swiss company, and these ratings have been compiled taking into account a number of factors such as banking secrecy, tax regime, legal system and communications.

The government of Belize have a very strong aversion to illegal activities including money laundering. The Money Laundering Prevention Act was passed in 1996 and as a result very strict measures are in place to make sure that any illegal activities are not undertaken by banks and other financial institutions in Belize. The Central Bank of Belize regulates the banking sector in the country.
