* Honduras’s central bank (BCH) has released new figures which show that the country’s exports totalled US$2.3bn in the first six months of 2020, up 0.8% on the same period the previous year. Meanwhile, imports totalled US$4.1bn over the same period, a 17.3% decline compared with the first six months of 2019.
