Overview

Belize's credit to GDP ratio has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 50 years, with the ratio increasing from 26.68 in 1976 to a peak of 55.08 in 2020 before declining to 35.75 in 2025. This decline from the peak represents a notable shift, with the country's credit to GDP ratio surpassing that of its peer, Greece, which ranks slightly above with a ratio of 35.80. The ratio's trough in 1980, at 15.02, marks a stark contrast to the current level, indicating a substantial expansion in credit availability. The country's credit to GDP ratio has been trending downward since 2020, with a 36.2% decrease in the ratio over this period. A sustained economic recovery and increased foreign investment could potentially alter the downward trajectory of Belize's credit to GDP ratio, potentially leading to a stabilization or even a reversal of this trend.
