n dir="ltr">The most recent figures from Banco de Guatemala show that in July 2018 the country received $818 million in remittances, an amount that exceeds by 23% the $644 million registered in the same month in 2017. 

Between the first seven months of 2011 and the same period in 2018, revenues from remittances have practically doubled, since the figures went from $2.525 billion in 2011 to $5.217 billion in 2018. 

The increase of 11% registered in January to July of this year with respect to the same period in 2017, represents a slowdown in the growth of the flow of remittances, given that for the first seven months of 2016 and 2017 growths of 15% and 17%, were reported respectively. 

The income for the seventh month of this year totaled $818 million, an amount that exceeded the average value of remittances received during the months of July in the last five years, since the flow reached an average of $546 million.
