The Central Bank of Honduras auctioned $112.1 million in a foreign-exchange sale on July 21, setting a weighted average exchange rate of L26.7744 per dollar for July 22.

The Central Bank of Honduras is updating and relaxing the deadlines for exporters to bring foreign-currency earnings back into the country, aiming to simplify operations for the export sector.

Honduras recorded a foreign-exchange surplus of $1.4 billion in the first half of 2026, led by remittances of $6.6 billion, which exceeded prior-year inflows by 12.4%.

Honduras expects to earn $2.4 billion from coffee exports by September 30, when the current coffee year ends, with 6.8 million quintals already shipped and 120,000 producers supporting roughly one million jobs across the sector.

Honduras exported 6.66 million bags of coffee worth $2.11 billion from October 2025 through July 1, 2026—a 23% jump in volume and 12% gain in revenue over the same period a year earlier, driven by larger harvests despite lower global prices.

The Central Bank of Honduras says its external position is solid, supported by rising foreign-exchange reserves and favorable inflows that have maintained a positive net flow of hard currency.

Family remittances, which account for 54.2% of all foreign currency inflows to Honduras, are sustaining a positive net foreign-exchange position amid slower growth in outflows.

Honduras has exported over 6 million quintals (about 270,000 metric tons) of coffee worth $2.05 billion this season, and with sales contracts already near 6.85 million quintals, officials project final exports could reach 7 million quintals before the September 30 harvest close.

Honduras is nearing $2 billion in foreign-exchange earnings from coffee exports this year, with 6.2 million of 6.8 million contracted quintals already shipped, according to the Coffee Vice Minister.

Honduras's foreign-exchange inflows are growing faster than outflows, creating a positive gap driven mainly by family remittances and exports of goods and services, the Central Bank said.
