Business Enabling Environment Project

The Mission s Business Enabling Environment Project is structured around four key components: 1. Regulatory Environment Improvement: Enhance Guatemala's regulatory framework to encourage investment, streamline FDI procedures, and improve the business environment for MSMEs through policy reforms and capacity building. 2. Leveraging Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): Promote Guatemala as an investment destination, providing transaction advisory services to attract FDI and create employment opportunities in high-potential sectors and value chains. 3. Secondary City Technical Assistance: Support urban planning and design in intermediary cities to catalyze growth, promote efficient land use, and accommodate population growth sustainably. 4. Increased Private Sector Access to Capital: Improve access to finance for MSMEs by identifying high-potential firms ('gazelles') and assisting them in securing necessary capital for productive investments.
