The Central Bank of Honduras published a press release based on its Weekly Executive Summary for 22 to 28 May 2026 showing that private sector deposits continued to expand, reaching HNL681,685.7 million. That was HNL46,272.5 million above the end of 2025 and HNL83,017.0 million higher than a year earlier, equivalent to 13.9% annual growth, with household savings accounting for 89.2% of the increase. The composition of funding pointed to a preference for highly liquid instruments. Savings accounts represented nearly two thirds of total deposits and remained the main source of growth. During the week under review, total deposits increased by HNL5,853.1 million, driven by a HNL4,766.9 million rise in local currency balances, mainly from services and energy generation companies, and a HNL1,086.2 million increase in foreign currency balances, led by services, trade and households. The bank said the resulting availability of funds continued to support private sector credit, which grew 5.8% year on year, mainly through local currency lending to real estate, agriculture, services and households.
