PM To IMF To Swing Major Loan Support

Prime Minister Dean Barrow left the country today for Washington DC - to lead a delegation into high level meetings with Executive Officials at the IDB and IMF.

According to our information, the PM is going to lobby the IDB to give a partial guarantee to Belize's Superbond restructuring - a guarantee that is proving difficult to secure. The PM's visit is seen as the final push to try and swing the deal.

The PM returns next Tuesday - and in his absence Deputy Gaspar Vega will act as Prime Minister.
