flag PM Briceño addresses inflation, wage rise, and telecom acquisitions at University of Belize.

flag Prime Minister Johnny Briceño spoke to students at the University of Belize, addressing inflation, wages, and the government's acquisition of telecommunications companies. flag He cited global factors, including the war in Iran, as driving up diesel prices beyond Belize’s control. flag While no tax increases have been made, the government plans to raise the minimum wage to $6 to boost incomes. flag The PM defended the purchase of cable companies, saying it secured customer cash flow rather than physical assets, and emphasized regulatory oversight by the Public Utilities Commission to protect consumers despite reduced competition. flag The event ended around 5:00 p.m., with a recording available on the university’s Facebook page.
