Analysis# Honduras Current Account Balance
Honduras recorded a current account deficit of 2.5% of GDP in 2026, reflecting persistent external imbalances. This figure sits well below the nation's all-time peak of 2.9% of GDP in 2020, yet remains substantially stronger than the 15.3% deficit recorded in 2008 during the global financial crisis. Since 1980, Honduras's current account balance has shifted 68.8 percentage points, indicating significant structural changes in the country's external trade position.
The recent decade reveals considerable volatility, particularly the 2020 surplus representing an anomalous bright spot amid otherwise consistent deficits. From 2021 onward, Honduras returned to deficit territory, posting deficits ranging from 3.9% to 6.7% of GDP through 2024. The 2025 projection of 0.4% deficit suggests marginal improvement, though the 2026 forecast of 2.5% indicates stabilization around moderate deficit levels rather than sustained recovery toward equilibrium.
