Honduras is undergoing several high-level financial and economic evaluations. The country has entered an 18-month mutual evaluation by the Financial Action Task Force for Latin America (GAFILAT) to assess compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing recommendations. This review aims to determine if Honduras remains off the FATF ‘grey list,’ a status that could impact foreign investment and transaction costs.

Simultaneously, Standard & Poor's Global Ratings (S&P) is conducting a sovereign credit review. The evaluation involves meetings with government officials, including President Nasry Asfura, to assess institutional governance, economic conditions, fiscal status, and monetary policy. This review follows a previous update in March that shifted the country’s outlook from negative to stable, maintaining long- and short-term sovereign ratings at ‘BB-/B’.
