Honduras's proposed 2027 budget includes a provision classifying spending by Congress, the Presidential Office, and the national sports commission (Condepor) as reserved information, contravening the transparency and access-to-information law.

The Health Ministry has not submitted required quarterly reports to Congress on spending from a 500-million-lempira emergency health fund approved in February 2026, which was supposed to finance surgeries, expedite drug purchases, and equip operating rooms.

Congress spending jumped in May to L11.4 million on advertising and L20.6 million on Mother's Day gift baskets distributed across all 18 departments, amid criticism from Criterio.hn over the lack of detail on recipients and allocation criteria.

Congress approved a temporary waiver of fines and sanctions for 2025 election candidates who failed to file required campaign finance reports or establish separate campaign bank accounts, giving them two months to comply before penalties take effect.
