The government has been actively encouraging investments in ICT to modernize public services and foster economic growth. Key imports include telecommunications equipment and cloud infrastructure to support businesses in finance, retail, and healthcare.

IT exports are focused on customer service, call centers, and basic software development. The country’s young, bilingual workforce and competitive labor costs position it as an outsourcing destination. Government programs like the Agenda Nacional de Competitividad promote digital transformation and enhance digital skills. Guatemala is also seeing growth in fintech startups, supported by partnerships with international tech firms. Trade agreements such as CAFTA-DR further facilitate IT-related imports and exports, helping Guatemala strengthen its role in the global digital economy.
