Family remittances represent one of the fundamental pillars of economic development in Guatemala, not only as a survival mechanism for thousands of households, but also as a potential source of local investment if deployed productively. When these flows are directed beyond immediate consumption—for example toward community enterprises, improvements in basic infrastructure, agricultural projects, technical training, or group savings—they can generate positive multiplier effects: local jobs are created, the community economic fabric is strengthened, and external dependence is reduced.

🎯 Webinar Objective

Based on the opinions of our expert panelists, recognized nationally and internationally, to understand the behavior of remittances in Guatemala during 2025—including figures, trends, global factors, and local capacities—so that remittance-receiving families, Guatemalans abroad, and economic actors can understand the current landscape and identify elements that facilitate their financial decision-making in 2026.

The content will be developed by bringing together economic analysis, geopolitical perspectives, and available financial instruments to transform remittances into opportunities.

💡 The Webinar will be structured in three blocks:

2025 Diagnosis: What the figures tell us, how families are using remittances, and what changes were observed in their sending patterns.

Global context and local offerings: The impact of U.S. migration and economic policies, macroeconomic risks, and instruments for productive investment.

2026 Perspectives: Key messages and elements to consider, so that remittance recipients make better financial decisions next year.

🔔 This webinar offers unique value by combining:

Reliable information and in-depth analysis: The audience receives a clear and accessible synthesis based on official data, academic research, and global trends related to migration and financial flows.

Complementary expert voices: Economists, geopolitical analysts, and leaders from the cooperative sector contribute an integral vision that is rarely brought together in a single space.

Vision in local development and cooperative models: Integration of remittances into cooperative programs and territorial economic circuits.

The space will be dynamic, without unnecessary technical jargon, and oriented toward answering audience questions. It is directed at Guatemalan remittance senders or recipients with little financial or business knowledge, as well as cooperatives, local institutions, and audiences interested in the country's economic development.
