Highly diversified productive sector

 

 

Guatemala has experienced in recent years an important productive diversification, developing a wide number of productive sectors. Some of these, traditional to the country, are very important (as is the case of agriculture, which represents 10 percent of the national GDP). However, commercial activity (23) and industry (18) are equally very important.

 

The different service industries are likewise very important for the country and are currently experiencing a very significant dynamism: software development services, contact centers and BPO, tourism, laboratory services, among others.
