The Central Bank of Honduras reported that foreign direct investment in January to March 2026 totaled USD213.4 million. The flow was driven by USD453.6 million in equity contributions by companies and partly offset by a USD240.2 million negative other-capital position reflected in accounts receivable. Reinvested earnings accounted for USD445.3 million of the equity contribution total, up 50.6% from the same period of 2025, with financial services and manufacturing identified as the main sectors. The negative other-capital figure mainly reflected debt accumulated by foreign parent companies with their Honduran subsidiaries, particularly in the textile maquila industry. The release said those resources are expected to return once the parent companies repay that debt. The main source countries for the investment were Colombia, Panama, Singapore and the Philippines.
