3. Student Post: " Country: Guatemala, page 77 1. Guatemala is not as "global" as other more developed countries, sharing 61% of its international flow with the United States while the rest is shared and distributed amongst other smaller Central American countries. One curious observation about the international flow sharing is that Guatemala seems to be one of the countries that share the most international flow with the United States scoring higher than 50%. Other countries tend to share a smaller number, ranging between the late and early twenties. 2. This country would have suffered more economically during the covid19 pandemic experiencing less tourism and negative impacts on both tariffs and population. According to the connectedness score trend, however, this country has been able to keep a steady trend since 2001, having a slight increase in 2007 and maintaining it since. "
