In brief: Honduras inflation closes 2025 within target range
*Honduras’ central bank (BCH) has released new figures showing that monthly inflation in December was 0.35%, unchanging since November. This brought the annual inflation rate to 4.98%, down from 5.09% in November and within the BCH’s target range of 4.00% +/- 1%. According to the BCH, monthly inflation was driven by price rises in some food and drinks (+0.21%) amid increased demand over the Christmas period, although this was offset by a fall in some prices in the transport category (-0.04% in monthly terms). The BCH estimates that policy actions by the government (fuel and energy subsidies) reduced inflation by 0.63 percentage points regarding the annual rate in December.
