On Thursday, August 7, at 11:00 a.m. ET/9:00 a.m. CST, the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center, in partnership with the Foundation for the Development of Guatemala (FUNDESA), will host a discussion focusing on Guatemala as a destination for strategic foreign investment and a growing source of capital contributing to the US economy.

As Guatemala advances regulatory reforms, deepens public-private collaboration, and boosts international investor confidence (its S&P Global credit rating was recently upgraded from BB to BB+), this conversation will dive into Guatemala’s potential in strengthening regional supply chains and attracting investment in areas aligned with US economic security. Speakers will explore current opportunities in key sectors while also identifying additional steps needed to deepen economic engagement and unlock further growth.

The event will also highlight the growing footprint of Guatemalan companies investing in the United States, underscoring the importance of a two-way investment relationship and its role in supporting shared economic priorities.

This conversation is the second in a series of events under a partnership between AALAC and FUNDESA focused on identifying mutually beneficial opportunities to drive prosperity in both Guatemala and the United States.
