*Honduras’ conservative Partido Nacional (PN) government led by President Nasry Asfura has announced the arrival of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission to carry out its sixth and final review of the Extended Fund Facility and Extended Credit Facility arrangement for Honduras, completion of which would enable the release of US$120m. Completion of the fourth and fifth reviews were announced in June, resulting in the release of US$242m. Honduras’ 36-month arrangements totalling about US$847m were approved in September 2023 under the previous leftist Partido Libertad y Refundación (Libre) government led by former president Xiomara Castro (2022-2026).
