Caribbean & Central America - February 2024
Introduction
We begin the February 2024 edition of the Latin American Regional Report: Caribbean & Central America in Guatemala where, against all the odds, anti-corruption reformer Bernardo Arévalo was finally sworn in as president last month. The significance of his assumption of office cannot be overstated in terms of representing a break with the discredited political establishment. However, the task he faces in delivering on his anti-corruption pledge is also huge.
