Retirees enrolled in Belize's Belize Qualified Retired Persons (QRP) Incentive Program

The BTB says that "a little over 1,000" persons have taken advantage of the QRP program since its implementation more than a decade ago. Some of these may have dropped out, the BTB says. Not sure if that number includes spouses and dependents, or not, but in any case I doubt it's an accurate picture of the number of current participants in the QRP. Anything over 400 or 500 individuals and couples is optimistic, in my opinion, based on anecdotal evidence.

The QRP program just has not worked as well as it should have.
