According to MINECO's profile (June 2024), around 95% of trade with the EU is duty-free. The EU is Guatemala's number 4 trading partner in both exports and imports; Guatemala ranks 110th as a supplier to the EU and 112th as a customer. Bilateral trade in US$ million (Banguat data via MINECO): 2018 exports 927.8, imports 1,407.3, balance −480; 2020: 1,004.8 / 1,203.7 / −199; 2022: 1,536.8 / 2,178.8 / −642; 2023: 1,426.5 / 1,999.8 / −573. The balance is in deficit for Guatemala in every year observed.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
