* Honduras’s central bank (BCH) has released new figures which show that the country’s exports totalled US$1.93bn in the first five months of 2020, up 0.5% on the same period the previous year. Meanwhile, imports totalled US$3.4bn over the same period, a drop of 18% on the first five months of 2019.
