Abstract
Rasgos generales de la evolución reciente En 2007, la econom ía guatemalteca creció 5,7%, el mejor desempeño en el presente decenio, lo que obedeció principalmente al dinamismo del consumo privado, impulsado por un intenso flujo de remesas familiares (12% del producto interno bruto, PIB). Este ingreso financió en parte el voluminoso déficit comercial (17% del PIB). A su vez, el déficit de la cuenta corriente de la balanza de pagos (5,1% del PIB) se cubrió holgadamente gracias a los ingresos de inversión extranjera directa (IED) y otros capitales. La inflación anual fue de 8,7%, atribuible en parte a factores de oferta externa, por lo que no se cumplió con la meta inflacionaria de 2007 de entre 4% y 6%. El déficit del gobierno central fue de 1,5% del PIB (1,9% en 2006). Guatemala: Economic evolution during 2007 and perspectives for 2008 Abstract: General features of the recent evolution In 2007, the Guatemalan economy grew by 5, 7%, constituting the best development of the current decade. The growth rate was mainly attributed to the buoyancy of private consumption, brought on by an intense flow of remittances (12% of the gross domestic product GDP). This income partly compensated the substantial trade deficit (17% of GDP) while the current account deficit (5,1% of GDP) was amply compensated for by the flow of foreign direct investment (FDI) and other capital funds. The annual inflation was 8,7%, partly attributed to external supply factors, due to which the inflationary goal of 2007 of 4 to 6% was not reached. The deficit of the central government equalled 1.5% of GDP (1.9% in 2006).
