BIP MAKES INVESTMENT IN BELIZE EASIER AND FASTER

Belmopan, 25th January, 2017:  The Ministry responsible for Investment, Trade and Commerce (MITC) and BelizeINVEST, a unit of BELTRAIDE, joined the LOVE FM Morning Show team today to promote the Belize Investment Portfolio Campaign (BIP). This is an initiative which aims to foster the development of a national portfolio to fast-track investment generation efforts, both local and foreign, through targeted matchmaking of pre-packaged investment concepts and projects.

Through the advancement of the campaign, BELTRAIDE, through its technical unit BelizeINVEST, mandated to serve as Belize’s National Investment Promotion Agency, expects to further substantiate investment concepts submitted by key public sector Government Ministries and stakeholders into actionable business cases aligned with national development priorities.

Additionally, the campaign strives to support private sector investment projects seeking financing and / or investment partners by promoting and matchmaking these “shovel ready” business opportunities through various platforms regionally, inclusive of Connect Americas and the Caribbean Association of Investment Promotion Agency (CAIPA), key supporters and collaborators of this initiative in Belize.

The team was headed by Ms. Amparo Masson, Chief Executive Officer, in the Ministry responsible for Investment, Trade & Commerce and included Mr. Brian Lin, Senior Manager, Investment Development, BelizeINVEST and Ms. Lianne Torres, Investment Associate, BelizeINVEST, BELTRAIDE.

The discussion on the show was very lively and touched on a wide-range of areas as it relates to key Government investment programs and issues. Members of the general public also interacted with the team by making numerous phone calls to the show.
