Guatemala Macroeconomic Indicators

Data and methodology Real GDP growth is measured as the annual percentage change. Inflation represents annual average consumer-price inflation, rather than December year-over-year inflation. Central government debt and the fiscal balance are expressed as percentages of GDP. Fiscal figures follow the central government presentation and should not be confused with broader public-sector measures. The current account balance includes trade in goods and services, primary income, and secondary income. Guatemala's large remittance inflows contribute to its external position. Gross international reserves are expressed in US dollars. Nominal GDP is expressed in current US dollars. GDP per capita is expressed in current US dollars. The 2023, 2024, and 2025 values are historical World Bank observations; the 2026 value is an approximate projection, not an observed or published World Bank figure. Unemployment uses the World Bank modeled ILO estimate series. The 2023–2025 observations are historical estimates. A 2026 projection is not included because a comparable forecast has not been verified. Net FDI is expressed as a percentage of GDP. This series should be sourced consistently from the World Bank or IMF balance-of- payments data. Values are left blank pending verification rather than substituting unverified estimates. The 2026 figures for GDP growth, fiscal balance, debt, reserves, current account and nominal GDP are projections or indicative estimates. They are not final observed outcomes. Subsequent official releases may revise historical values.
