GUATEMALA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Guatemala is the most populous country in Central America with a GDP per capita roughly one-half that of the average for Latin America and the Caribbean. The agricultural sector accounts for 13.7% of GDP and 32% of the labor force; key agricultural exports include sugar, coffee, bananas, and vegetables. The 1996 peace accords, which ended 36 years of civil war, removed a major obstacle to foreign investment, and since then Guatemala has pursued important reforms and macroeconomic stabilization. The Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) entered into force in July 2006, spurring increased investment and diversification of exports, with the largest increases in ethanol and non-traditional agricultural exports. While CAFTA-DR has helped improve the investment climate, concerns over security, the lack of skilled workers, and poor infrastructure continue to hamper foreign direct investment. The distribution of income remains highly unequal with the richest 20% of the population accounting for more than 51% of Guatemala's overall consumption. More than half of the population is below the national poverty line, and 13% of the population lives in extreme poverty. Poverty among indigenous groups, which make up more than 40% of the population, averages 73%, with 22% of the indigenous population living in extreme poverty. Nearly one-half of Guatemala's children under age five are chronically malnourished, one of the highest malnutrition rates in the world. Guatemala is the top remittance recipient in Central America as a result of Guatemala's large expatriate community in the United States. These inflows are a primary source of foreign income, equivalent to one-half of the country's exports or one-tenth of its GDP. In November 2014 along with his counterparts from El Salvador and Honduras, President PEREZ MOLINA announced the “Plan of the Alliance for Prosperity in the Northern Triangle.” This plan seeks to address the challenges facing the three Northern Triangle countries, including steps the governments will take to stimulate economic growth, increase transparency and fiscal responsibility, reduce violence, modernize the justice system, improve infrastructure, and promote educational opportunities over the next several years.

Final  Opinion

This  is  a  small  Guatemalan  company  that  has  been  incorporated  since  2007.  The  company  manufactures

textile  products.  The  company  exports  abroad,  so  it  can  have  good  market  reach.  The  company  has  no web  presence,  so  it  must  rely  on  traditional  means  of  marketing  to  expand  its  client  base.  Because  of  this, gaining  new  clients  would  be  a  slow  process.  We  found  no  legal  filings  against  the  company.  Because  we could  not  reach  anyone  who  could  verify  the  information  we  found  we  would  suggest  requesting guarantees  before  a  credit  line  is  considered.

Comments

We  have  attempted  to  contact  the  company  several  times  but  none  of  our  calls  were  answered.  We emailed  the  information  request  and  are  awaiting  a  reply.
