Gross Domestic Product in current US dollars NY.GDP.MKTP.CD
Belize's gdp was $3.3B in 2025, ranked 162nd globally. This represents a 2.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Belize's gdp stood at $3.3B in 2025, a rise of +$93.4M from 2024. The IMF projects $3.3B by 2025. Belize ranked 162nd globally.
Belize’s gross domestic product has risen from a modest 28,072,478.07 in 1960 to an all‑time high of 3,297,000,000.00 in 2025, placing the nation 162nd in the world ranking and marking a growth trajectory that spans 66 years. This expansion reflects a compound increase of more than 100‑fold, outpacing the comparable output of the Central African Republic, which recorded 3,300,000,000.00, and approaching the level of Bhutan at 3,408,000,000.00. The early post‑independence period saw the economy anchored in primary sectors, while successive diversification into tourism, services and modest manufacturing has driven the upward swing. Despite the impressive ascent, Belize’s GDP remains modest relative to regional neighbours, underscoring the limited scale of its domestic market and vulnerability to external shocks such as climate‑related disruptions. Continued investment in high‑value sectors and resilience‑building measures will be crucial to sustain the positive trend and potentially lift the country into a higher global rank.
