The Guatemalan minister of Public Finance confirmed yesterday that the Executive is planning four great infrastructure investments, for a total of three billion dollars: (1) extension of electric energy coverage; (2) construction of rural roads; (3) improvements to main, international, and frontier highways, as well as to those connecting ports; and (4) one urban subway line.
The government has requested an increase to the current budget for 2024, contemplating funds for pre investment studies within such an increase. Funds will also be assigned in the budget proposal for 2025.
Both the increase and next year’s budget require approval from Congress.
