Nicaraguan economic growth and stability
Overview
Nicaragua has demonstrated sustained economic expansion through the first half of 2026. The Central Bank of Nicaragua (BCN) reported stable inflation, low unemployment, and a zero percent annual exchange rate slide for the Córdoba against the U.S. dollar. Fiscal management has resulted in surpluses and the accumulation of financial reserves.
Specific data for June 2026 indicates that the Monthly Index of Economic Activity (IMAE) grew by 1.8 percent compared to June 2025, contributing to an accumulated growth of 3.6 percent for the January-June period. Growth has been driven largely by the energy and water, construction, hotels and restaurants, and livestock sectors. However, contractions were noted in mining and quarrying, manufacturing, fishing, and forestry.
To support domestic stability amidst international energy price volatility, the Nicaraguan government has maintained local prices for gasoline, diesel, and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
