What the numbers say
In 2023, Guatemala's technical cooperation grants (BoP, current US$) rose 3.8% on 2022 (from US$52.95 million to US$54.98 million).

This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 630.7% in 1966 and the biggest yearly fall was 96.4% in 1961. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 2% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
