Belize's gross savings rate has experienced significant fluctuations over the past four decades. At its peak in 1987, the country's gross savings rate reached 62.51%, largely driven by its economic growth during the 1980s. Conversely, the lowest point occurred in 1982 with a gross savings rate of 8.32%, amidst the challenges posed by the global economic downturn of that time. Since then, the gross savings rate has oscillated, with a recent decline in 2025 to 17.04%, positioning Belize at the 115th spot globally. When compared to its peer countries, Belize's gross savings rate is comparable to that of the United States in 2025. A notable trend in Belize's savings rate has been its decline over the years, with the country's economic growth and development potentially affected by this decline. A significant increase in foreign investment or a boost in domestic economic growth could potentially alter the trajectory of Belize's gross savings rate in the coming years.
