Objectives

The aim of the FSC is to protect consumers, enhance the reputation of Belize as a non-bank financial services center and to promote good business practices by good firms. Its supervisory work focuses chiefly on the way firms are operated and governed and the identification of risks to consumers and the reputation of Belize more generally.

In carrying out its functions, the FSC cooperates with other national agencies and departments, including the Financial Intelligence Unit, the Belize Tax Services, Central Bank, and the Attorney General’s Ministry. The FSC also cooperates with regional and international organizations in the global fight to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. As such, the FSC facilitates Belize’s membership and participation in the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
