The objectives of Belize’s central bank are similar to those of most central banks. A primary objective of the Bank is to promote stability in the monetary system and in the exchange rate. The Central Bank must ensure that money supply does not expand too rapidly since this would lead to increased spending, higher inflation, and a higher demand for foreign reserves. The Central Bank may increase or decrease commercial bank liquidity requirements, or it may influence the interest rate to ensure that the growth in money supply level can promote credit and exchange conditions that are conducive to economic growth.
