MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#insurance<\/a>--AM Best<\/b> is maintaining its stable outlook on Guatemala\u2019s insurance industry, citing market expansion supported by economic growth and controlled inflation.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

The new Best\u2019s Market Segment Report<\/i>, \u201cMarket Segment Outlook: Guatemala Insurance,\u201d states that Guatemala is forecast to see GDP growth moderate in 2026, though still supported by private consumption and remittance inflows. However, the outlook is subject to heightened uncertainty given potential impact of the Middle East conflict, continued global trade tensions and more-restrictive U.S. immigration policies, which could weigh on exports and slow the growth of remittance inflows. In addition, inflation is projected to rise but should remain below the Bank of Guatemala\u2019s target range of 3-5%. At the same time, the insurance market\u2019s positive premium growth has been consistent in the last five years, and technical results reflect refined pricing and prudent expense management.<\/p>

\u201cGuatemala\u2019s insurance industry in 2025 maintained premium sufficiency, showing stability in claims and acquisition costs, demonstrating the market\u2019s ability to navigate the different cycles in reinsurance,\u201d said Inger Rodriguez, financial analyst, AM Best. \u201cThe industry remains well protected through comprehensive reinsurance programs placed among reinsurers with high levels of security.\u201d<\/p>

The report notes that AM Best expects the Guatemalan insurance market to continue growing within the 8-10% range in 2026, with risk-adjusted capitalization of rated entities standing at the strongest level.<\/p>
