Deuda Publica

ENEE manager Guillermo Peña Panting disclosed that the state electric utility's largest debtor is the government and its institutions, which owe approximately L14 billion of the utility's L18 billion in total accounts receivable.

A transportation entrepreneur says the electoral authority owes his company 37 million lempiras (about $1.5 million) for services provided during Honduras's primary elections, claiming delayed payment has pushed his business toward collapse.

The state utility's financial manager said ENEE has a strategy to meet near-term obligations and restructure its debt, and that pending energy reforms will boost confidence among lenders and potential investors.
