The Central Bank of Belize alerts the public to a fraudulent article currently circulating online, which falsely claims that the Central Bank has initiated legal action against a local media house.
This report is entirely fabricated. The Central Bank has not filed any lawsuit against any media entity, nor has it issued any public statement to that effect. The article forms part of a wider fraudulent scheme that has been observed in other jurisdictions, which makes false claims against financial authorities, with the intent of luring individuals into dubious investments.
The Central Bank urges the public to be wary of misinformation and to verify any such claims directly with official sources. Further, to enhance personal cybersecurity, do not to click on suspicious links or provide personal or financial information to unverified sources.

The Central Bank remains committed to upholding transparency, trust, and the integrity of Belize’s financial system.
