Lempira

Honduras's official exchange rate climbed to L26.8727 per dollar on September 7, up L0.0077 from Friday, reflecting a slight strengthening of the US currency against the lempira.

Severe drought in southern Lempira has destroyed corn crops and dried the Chayel River after only two storms in 2026, forcing farmers to sell livestock prematurely and threatening food security across the region.

Adverse weather and crop failures in Piraera, Lempira are forcing agricultural families to sell livestock to cover basic needs, prompting the mayor to call on the government for rural support.

Honduras's official dollar exchange rate climbed to L26.8368 (buy) and L26.9710 (sell) on August 20, continuing a week-long upward trend that has seen the lempira depreciate by roughly L0.009 since Monday.

A couple reported missing from Lempira on August 14 has been found dead in Tambla; authorities are conducting forensic identification and investigating the circumstances of their deaths.

Economist Amparo Canales says the lempira has depreciated 1.69% against the US dollar so far in 2026, raising import costs for fuel, medicines, and production inputs and potentially pushing consumer prices higher.

A man was fatally attacked with a blade and set on fire on the CA-11 highway near Belén, Lempira; authorities recovered the charred body and sent it for forensic identification.
