The 2018 Volcán de Fuego eruption and its impact
- Macroeconomy, ratings and risk
- Sovereign rating and country risk
- not audited
The June 2018 eruption left, according to official figures, at least ~190 dead; CONRED documented 57 injured and 256 missing (as of 30 Jul 2018), ~3,100 initially evacuated, more than 1.7 million people affected and ~8,500 hectares of maize, beans and coffee destroyed. The figures come from Wikipedia with CONRED and press references; the final ones (confirmed dead versus missing) must be verified against CONRED in the data phase.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

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.
