With a strong commitment to social and economic development, Honduras has entered the new century ready to face the challenges and opportunities of the future.

The most attractive investment opportunities are found in the export and tourism industries. Traditional exports like bananas and coffe have long been the primary sources of economic growth in Honduras. But today, non traditional agricultural and industrial products are the nation´s new motor for economic growth.

Driven by the need to create jobs for a young and growing labor force, Honduras has embraced globalization and is creating new and equal opportunities for local and foreign investors alike.

 

Investment Climate

These include: Its geo-strategic location between the markets of North and South America; its skilled labor force; natural resources; export incentives; bilateral, multilateral and regional trade and investment agreements; excellent diplomatic relations; and political and social stability.

More and more foreign companies of international prestige are setting up operations in Honduras, primarily in the manufacturing, agroindustrial, fishing, forestry, mining, tourism and services sectors. Foreign firmas also participate and benefit from the process of privatizing governement-run companies.
