From a statement from the Bank of Guatemala:

The Monetary Board, based on a comprehensive analysis of the external and internal situation, after having heard of the Inflation Risks Balance, has decided to reduce the level of leading monetary policy interest rate from 4.50% to 4%.

The Monetary Board, in the external environment, believes that the world economy has been recovering at a moderate pace, supported by the recent momentum in advanced economies, although downside risks remain. It also took into account the behavior of the fall in international prices of some commodities, such as oil, yellow corn and wheat, which affect inflation in the country.

The mission of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recognizes the macroeconomic stability that has been achieved, but warns of a need to approve a fiscal reform that allows the tax burden to be increased to at least 15% of GDP, and allocate that additional income to public investment, especially in social development, particularly pre-primary education, preventive health care and greater pension coverage.
