Although the external current account deficit widened in 2011, the surplus in the capital account was larger, partly owing to banks' increased access to foreign credit lines. Executive Directors have welcomed Guatemala's economic recovery and the favorable outlook, considering that the policy stance for 2012 is broadly appropriate. Directors have also encouraged the authorities to improve public expenditure management.
