By Zoila Palma: The Central Bank of Belize officially launched its new 2025 banknote series today, introducing updated designs that highlight Belize’s rich cultural heritage.
The redesigned notes feature new portraits, modern themes, and enhanced security elements aimed at protecting against counterfeiting while preserving the integrity of the national currency.
Despite the new look, the exchange rate remains unchanged at BZ$2 to US$1, ensuring financial stability. The updated notes also aim to reflect national identity through imagery tied to Belize’s history, traditions, and people.
The new banknotes have begun circulating at all domestic banks.
While existing notes remain legal tender, the Central Bank is encouraging the public to gradually deposit them to support a smooth transition. Some ATMs may require updates before they can dispense the new bills, but those adjustments are expected shortly.
Central Bank Governor Kareem Michael underscored the importance of public confidence in the rollout.
