DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wbj9b4/the_insurance) has announced the addition of the "The Insurance Industry in Guatemala, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2016" report to their offering.

Guatemala has a small insurance industry with only 17 insurers operating in the industry in 2011. The global financial crisis affected the Guatemalan economy and thus had a direct effect on the Guatemalan insurance industry during the review period. The insurance penetration, as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) in Guatemala, stood at 1.24% in 2011, which is very low when compared to developed countries. The Guatemalan insurance industry is mainly comprised of domestic insurance companies but foreign insurance companies started to enter the industry after the changes in insurance law in 2011. Foreign insurance companies are allowed to operate in the country through branches.
