Material changes
The Country Manual has been reviewed to ensure that the content of all documents remains accurate and in line with the evolving interpretation of the current legal and regulatory framework. We can confirm that there have been no relevant regulatory changes since the last publication of this Country Manual.
Non-material changes
Some content has been slightly reworded throughout the document, without introducing any material changes, to reflect the regulatory situation and current interpretation of the regulatory framework more accurately.
In that regard, note that the condition “No formal rules” has been added to activities undertaken onsite in Guatemala to better reflect the regulatory situation in the country. The respective activities remain permitted as described in the manual on an occasional basis and on a one-to-one basis (when acting on the Bank’s initiative).
Regulatory Summary
This document reflects the changes contained in the RT.
BT Short Comparison
BRP has created a comparison document allowing users to quickly identify the modifications made compared to the previous version of the PB Manual (BT Short Comparison). The BT Short Comparison can be found on BRP’s platform (mybrponline) in the Search tab by entering in the Document Field “CM PB BT SHORT COMP” and “GUATEMALA” in the Target Country Field.
The BT Short Comparison should be read as follows:
The first column contains a short description of the activity in question. The second column contains the answers of the previous version of the Country Manual (online until the day of the alert). The third column contains the new answers of the most recent version of the Country Manual. Only the modified answers are displayed (in color). If the answers in the new version are unchanged compared to the previous version, they are shaded in grey.
