HONDURAS: President Lobo gets budget approved, as IMF signals support
Congress finally approved a L122bn (US$6.42bn) budget for 2010 in
early April. The dominant ruling Partido Nacional (PN) also used its majority
(71 of 128 seats) to approve a 'Fiscal Emergency Law' and a contentious package
of tax reforms. Together, these measures should allow the IMF and other
multilateral lenders to offer additional loans to the cash-strapped country this
year.
