In 2017，the president of Guatemala，Jimmy Morales，suffered a crisis in power for corruption scandals and the expulsion of United Nations anti-corruption official. Under the influence of the crisis，the economic growth of Guatemala slowed last year，the fiscal revenue declined，and the confidence of private investment was damaged. The fiscal tightening policy was successful for two years consecutively，but the financial space was still limited. The rate of inflation was always within the target range，and there was a certain space for monetary policy. The crisis triggered a number of demonstrations，the public’s dissatisfaction with the government spread and social instability increased. The expulsion of United Nations official also damaged the international reputation of Guatemala. Guatemala actively expanded its economic and trade relations with China，which was a highlight in the field of foreign relations in the year of 2017.
