Guatemala City, Oct 26 (AGN).- President Alejandro Giammattei participated in the award ceremony for the National Export Award 2022which was awarded to the company Aquamaya.
At the event, which was held at the National Theater, the president highlighted the role that exports play in Guatemala’s economic growth.
It is an evening in which our Guatemala, amazing and unstoppable, is represented in the awards given to the companies and institutions that have led, with their efforts, the entrepreneurship of our country during this yearGiammattei said.
Likewise, he valued the work carried out by the Association of Exporters of Guatemala (Agexport) in the last 40 years.
I want to congratulate Agexport and the organizing committee of the event for their leadership, with which they encourage continuous improvement of companies in the country, he claimed.
According to the president, the increase in Guatemalan exports is also a reflection of Guatemala’s attractiveness as a country of opportunities.
In that sense, he mentioned that until August 2022 Guatemala had registered exports valued at least 10 thousand 897 million dollars.
Given this, he recalled that there was a decrease due to the pandemic and the recovery of this sector demonstrates the national resilience.
Exports will grow, demonstrating not only the economic resilience but also the confidence of national and international investors. That is why we are sure that exports will continue to grow in 2023, he asserted.
Finally, the president congratulated the winners and urged the export sector to fight for a prosperous and unstoppable country.
