As you might have seen on the news tonight, the prime minister released his annual New year message today. At 7 minutes long, he waxes poetic about everything PUP, but highlighted 2 of governments most successful projects for 2025:
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"Two government initiatives stand tall as the year closes. First, the avalanche of commercial activity across the country motivated by the GST Free Weekends offered by government. This program spurs tens of billions (sic) in consumer spending within the economy, benefiting retail customers and business outlets and keeping our dollars here at home. Not in Chetumal or Melchor. This is the first administration ever to offer this massive tax benefit to the people. And, second, the recent launch of the sale of shares in the recently acquired Hydro Belize limited. The company that owns the 3 hydro powered plants located in the Macal river in the Cayo district. In just the first few days of the offering, hundreds of Belizean's have already applied to become shareholders in this company. Again this bold step by government, first the acquisition, and now the share sale will keep profits circulating in the local economy for generations to come."
