Audited: not audited

Guatemala sits one notch below investment grade at all three agencies. Moody's: Ba1, stable outlook, affirmed 30-Apr-2026. S&P Global: BB+/B (long/short term), stable outlook — the level is verified; the exact action date is under verification at spglobal.com and is withheld until resolved (ISS-SP-DATE). Fitch: BB+, stable outlook, since the BB→BB+ upgrade of 14-Oct-2025 (country ceiling BBB); a reported affirmation around 5-Aug-2026 awaits primary confirmation (ISS-FITCH-JUL2026-REVIEW). None rates it investment grade yet.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

Caveat

Corrected 30-Aug-2026: the previous card (Fitch BB positive outlook, 7-Feb-2025, via Cbonds) was superseded by the 14-Oct-2025 BB→BB+ upgrade; Cbonds is retired as a source (stale aggregator). S&P's action date is withheld until resolved at spglobal.com. Moody's Ba1 via press coverage of the release.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
