Guatemala: Economic activity contracts at steep pace in March
Economic activity contracted 4.9% year-on-year in March, swinging from the 2.8% expansion logged in February and coming on the back of containment measures including the suspension of all non-essential activities; border closures; a travel ban; and curfews.
Consequently, annual average growth in the economic activity index eased to 3.1% in March from 3.8% in February.
