HONDURAS: Budget boost amid efforts to revive IMF programme
This week the Honduran government led by President Nasry Asfura, of the conservative Partido Nacional (PN), which took office in January, said it was seeking to revive the country’s programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This has stalled since the previous leftist Partido Libertad y Refundación (Libre) government led by Xiomara Castro (2022-2026) failed to fully meet its target for the programme’s fourth review last year. Amid efforts to endear itself to the Fund, the PN government received a recent boost after the 128-member unicameral legislature approved its 2026 State budget.
