Exchange Control Regulations Act Revised Edition 2011

The Government of Belize enacted the Exchange Control Regulations Act to establish a statutory framework for managing foreign exchange and capital movements. The legislation empowers the responsible Minister to issue regulations governing currency, gold, securities, and cross-border property transfers, while authorizing the appointment of a Controller to administer and enforce these rules. Non-compliance with the regulations constitutes a criminal offense punishable by fines up to ten thousand dollars, imprisonment for up to twelve months, and enhanced penalties for repeat offenses or violations involving the underlying assets.
