The Central Bank of Belize, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), and the Financial Services Commission (FSC) have signed governance agreements to coordinate the use of a shared sanctions registry.
The pact establishes a formal framework for data sharing and regulatory oversight among the three key financial authorities in the Caribbean nation.
The move is part of Belize’s broader effort to enhance its anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) infrastructure.
By centralizing access to sanctions data, regulators aim to improve the efficiency of compliance checks and reduce the risk of financial system abuse.
The agreement underscores a coordinated approach to financial integrity, aligning domestic practices with global expectations for transparency and risk management.
This development follows recent diplomatic and economic engagements by Belize, including discussions on integration into regional payment systems.
