	Background Notes: Guatemala
		Guatemala's return to civilian democratic rule in 1986 spurred a reversal of the steep economic decline that had reduced real per capita income by nearly 20% in the first half of the 1980s.
		These policies have included: raising taxes and reducing the fiscal deficit (Guatemala's tax burden is still among the lowest in the world); restraining growth of domestic credit, especially to the public sector; eliminating most price controls (only basic staples remain subject to controls); and unifying the (previously multi-tiered) exchange rate.
		Guatemala's major diplomatic interests are related to regional security issues and, increasingly, to regional development and economic integration issues.
