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.

Honduras received $4.13 billion in family remittances in the first four months of 2026, a 14.3% increase from the same period last year, as part of a $15.85 billion total across the Northern Triangle region.

Honduras's private sector council COHEP reports 4% IMAE growth driven by agroindustry and remittances, while warning that 3.12% inflation pressured by transport costs and climate risks to agriculture remain key challenges alongside IMF agreement progress and floating debt monitoring.

A UNAH finance professor says remittances—about 30% of GDP—sustain Honduras's currency market and millions of families but are mostly spent on consumption rather than productive investment, and the country should redirect them toward long-term economic growth.
