a BETTER MARKET FOR BELIZE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND SPUR FOR DEVELOPMENT.OUT OF THE BOX BELIZE ECONOMIC THINKING
There is a lot of talk about Central American Economic Intergration. I personally think we should ACCELERATE SOME OF THIS Belize, Guatemala,Salvador and Honduras should be one trade economic block. Free Trade Status across borders right now. While the detractors complain of unfair advantage by their producers, I rather think the shoe is on the other foot, and the HUGE MARKET REPRESENTED BY THESE THREE COUNTRIES are going to be the boost, that makes Belize a world competitor and certainly a local area competitor. Most of the businesses in Guatemala are small scale cottage industries, or family enterprises. They aren´t really any more bigger, or competent than our own cottage industries and family owned businesses. The only advantage they have over there is MARKET SIZE. Our own Belize market is too small. But if we were part of a greater four country group and all of us in the same state of business creation as we are, then that MUCH BIGGER REGIONAL LOCAL MARKET gives our own ability to make shoes, chocolate candy, soft drinks, etc and compete eventually on the world stage.
