The Central Bank of Honduras published the February 2026 results of its Survey of Expectations of Macroeconomic Analysts, indicating that respondents expect the Honduran economy to remain on a sustained growth path. The Economic Activity Confidence Index rose to 63.2 points from 53.8 in the previous month, staying in expansion territory above 50.0 for a second consecutive month. Analysts linked the outlook to stronger private consumption supported in part by remittance inflows, higher public and private investment, low and stable inflation, solid international reserves, and a reduction in measured country risk. They estimated GDP growth at around 3.7% in 2026, within the range of the Review of the 2025–2026 Monetary Programme, and projected year-on-year inflation of about 4.37% by end-2026, with a gradual decline through 2028; the central bank noted the survey results reflect respondents’ views rather than its own forecasts.
