Key Facts
—The haul. Guatemala received $12,219m (about Q93bn) in family remittances in the first half of 2026, up $851m on a year earlier.
—The decade. Remittances to Guatemala grew 319% between 2015 and April 2026, the fastest of six large Latin American recipients.
—The contrast. Mexico’s annual flow now sits below the peak it reached in November 2024, the weakest performer of the six.
—The catch. Growth of 7% compares with 18.1% in the same period last year, and the central bank forecasts 5% this year and 3% next.
