Fiscal Risk

Judicial claims against the Honduran government reached 29,484 as of June 2026, up 3,888 from a year earlier, driven largely by public-sector layoffs and straining the nation's contingent liabilities to 24.2% of GDP.

An economist at Honduras's national university says the state power utility's financial crisis, unresolved across multiple administrations, risks becoming unsalvageable if deterioration continues.

Edgar Aguilar, an energy analyst at the ASJ (Foundation for the Study of Applied Law), says the National Congress's failure to advance an energy reform bill poses a direct fiscal risk to Honduras as the state utility ENEE continues to post multimillion-lempira losses.
