Financing

Lawmakers introduced a bill to create Procafín, a nonprofit financing mechanism that would negotiate lower-interest loans for coffee farmers and reduce reliance on informal lending, funded by a per-sack export contribution.

Honduras faces a housing deficit of 1.57 million units, according to UNAH, with roughly 45,000 units added to the gap each year as high costs and limited financing block most families from homeownership.

Honduras's construction industry supports the National Housing Plan targeting at least 15,000 homes in the short and medium term, but warns that permit delays of up to four years, high material costs, and a shortage of social-housing projects could hinder execution.
