Guatemala’s economy is diversified, with agriculture (coffee, bananas, sugar), manufacturing, and remittances playing key roles. Growth is constrained by inequality, corruption, and weak infrastructure. Government policies focus on rural development and foreign investment, but execution remains a challenge. Regulatory frameworks are underdeveloped, particularly in land rights and environmental protection. Society faces widespread poverty, with limited access to education and healthcare in rural areas. Climate change, including droughts and floods, significantly impacts agriculture. Healthcare services are underfunded and struggle to meet the needs of the growing population.
