Guatemala: 2026 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; and Staff Report

International Monetary Fund

No 2026/217, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: Sound fundamentals—low and stable inflation, solid fiscal and external buffers, and current account surpluses—put Guatemala in a strong position to face ongoing high uncertainty. However, growth potential remains constrained by poor public infrastructure, which dampens private investment. Large remittances, though supporting consumption, complicate monetary policy and put pressure on competitiveness.
