The climate is tropical, characterized by high temperatures, high humidity, and distinct rainy and dry seasons. Economically, Belize relies on agriculture, tourism, fisheries, and services, with tourism and agricultural products making up the largest share of value creation. Foreign trade focuses on exports of sugar, bananas, citrus fruits, and fish, while the country relies heavily on imports of fuels, machinery, and consumer goods. Belize has a limited transit role, mainly through the ports in Belize City, which are central to import and export logistics. The national currency is the Belize Dollar (BZD), which is stable and pegged to the US Dollar.
