Guatemala
The center of regional progress
2025 marks a defining year for the Republic of Guatemala. It is more than just another year of growth. It is a moment when the country is charting a clear path as a leader in Central America. Through economic reforms, major projects and strategic partnerships Guatemala is laying the foundation for long-term prosperity, not only for itself but for the entire region, serving as a model for others to follow.
With our report, we would like to highlight these opportunities in depth and highlight what is it that makes Guatemala Central America’s largest economy and what drives its strong performance, including a 4.1% GDP growth forecast and a 15% rise in FDI.
