Mining and quarrying received just US$7.3 million of FDI in 2025 (Banguat preliminary), 0.4% of the total; agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishing US$1.9 million (0.1%) and accommodation and food service US$1.5 million (0.1%). Construction took US$31.4 million (1.7%), transport and storage US$53.5 million (2.8%) and other activities US$43.5 million (2.3%). The dossier reads the marginal mining flow as consistent with the Escobal case (suspended since 2017) and Fénix (sanctioned by OFAC in 2022).

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.
