The Honduran economy is expected to grow between 3.5% and 4% in 2025 and 2026, while inflation is projected to remain around 4% during both years, according to estimates from the Central Bank of Honduras (BCH), reports La Tribuna.
The 2025–2026 Monetary Program, presented by BCH President Rebeca Santos, outlines that the national economy will “maintain a growth trajectory within the range of 3.5% to 4%.”
Economic growth will be driven mainly by domestic demand, bolstered by household disposable income, which in turn is strengthened by the steady flow of family remittances, revenues from coffee exports, and monetary transfers linked to priority social programs, the BCH noted.
The Central Bank also highlighted an increase in budgeted public investment, reaching “historic levels” and aimed at strengthening strategic sectors such as productive, road, health, education, and energy infrastructure, laying the groundwork for long-term sustainable growth.
A partial recovery is also projected in some export sectors, particularly coffee, one of the country’s main export products.
However, the issuing authority warned that growth forecasts are subject to internal and external risks, including potential changes in global trade and migration policies, adverse weather conditions, and possible phytosanitary or zoosanitary issues that could negatively impact national production.
On the other hand, the global outlook may also offer opportunities. The BCH noted that the implementation of new international tariff policies could prove “favorable” for Honduras by positioning the country as an attractive destination for the relocation of foreign investment, especially in sectors such as textile manufacturing.
