“We will seek to continue growing in banking and finance, the pharmaceutical industry, and supermarkets, with customized development services, cloud adaptations, and content production,” an official source emphasized.

Devadit Barahona, director of the Board of Directors of the local Exporters Agency, stressed that the only remaining step is to expand the market to include more clients and focus on services related to artificial intelligence.

However, he added, the challenge of infrastructure investment must be addressed, along with agreements to avoid double taxation.

When selling services to other countries, Barahona explained, income tax must be paid where the client is located and then again in Guatemala.

The Deputy Minister of Integration and Foreign Trade, Hector Marroquin, considered that progress requires constant coordination between the public and private sectors.
