Honduras: Fourth and Fifth Reviews Under the Extended Fund Facility and the Extended Credit Facility Arrangements, and Requests for a Waiver of Nonobservance of Performance Criterion and Extension of the Arrangements-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for Honduras

Following elections in late 2025, the new government of President Asfura has affirmed its commitment to the Fund-supported program and decisively resumed reform momentum. Economic developments have remained largely favorable, supported by appropriate fiscal, monetary, and exchange rate policies alongside a supportive external environment in 2025 that fostered a marked improvement in foreign exchange market conditions and the accumulation of international reserves. A changed international environment, however, marked by the oil supply shock, alongside a possible strong El Niño event, poses new risks that require an agile policy response.
