How we calculated it
We query series inflation_dec_dec_pct of dataset cepal-economia-anual (CEPALSTAT) for Guatemala from 1976 to 2025 in VerDat's normalised layer and check that no year after 2009 matches or falls below the 2025 value. We require at least 15 years of series and a gap of at least 10 years. The chart reproduces the query; the values are re-verified automatically every day.
50 rows match the query; 50 results remain in the summary.
What it means and what it does not
The series comes from ECLAC's harmonised basis rather than the national methodology, meaning it may differ from official domestic figures. The data reflects where the country stands relative to its own historical record since 1976, without explaining the underlying causes. Additionally, revisions to earlier years could shift the date of this record.
Growth, inflation, debt and tax revenue are percentages; FDI is US dollars — filter to one indicator_key before aggregating.
