The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) projects Guatemala’s economy will expand by 4% in 2026 and 4.1% in 2027. This forecast indicates a positive trajectory for the Guatemalan economy in the coming years. In contrast, the overall Central American economy is expected to grow by a more modest 1.6% by the end of the current year. ECLAC’s predictions offer valuable insight into the economic outlook for the region. Guatemala’s projected growth surpasses that of its Central American neighbors. These figures are based on current economic trends and analysis conducted by the commission. The report suggests Guatemala will be a key driver of economic development in Central America.
