Abstract
Rasgos generales de la evolución reciente La economía hondureña se expandió 6,3% en 2007, y así se completó un cuatrienio con un incremento promedio anual del producto interno bruto (PIB) de 6,2% y del PIB por habitante de 3,8%. Este desempeño obedeció principalmente tanto al impacto de las remesas familiares (cuyo ritmo de crecimiento descendió; aun así, equivalieron al 21% del PIB) en el consumo privado como al auge de la construcción privada, impulsada por el aumento del crédito bancario. La inflación se aceleró y mostró una variación anual del 8,9% (5,3% en 2006), en parte por factores de oferta, por lo que no se cumplió la meta inflacionaria establecida de entre 4% y 6%. El déficit del gobierno central se elevó de 1,1% del PIB en 2006 a 2,3% en 2007. El déficit comercial alcanzó una cifra sin precedente (26,5% del PIB), y esta brecha junto con la de pagos factoriales se financió sólo parcialmente con remesas familiares y donaciones. En consecuencia, la cuenta corriente de la balanza de pagos arrojó un déficit significativo equivalente al 10% del PIB, el desequilibrio más alto registrado desde 1994. Honduras: Economic evolution during 2007 and Outlook for 2008 Abstract: General features of the recent evolution The Honduran economy expanded by 6.3% in 2007. With this the average yearly growth rate of the last four years has been 6.2% (3.8% in per capita terms). This performance was heavily influenced by the impact of remittances -which despite having experienced a slowdown are equivalent to 21% of GDP- on private consumption, and the upsurge of private construction, which in turn was brought on by the increased availabilty of credit. Inflation reached 8, 9%, in contrast to a rate of 5, 3% in 2006, partly due supply factors, which meant that the inflationary goal (4%-6%) was missed. Central government deficit increased from 1.1% of GDP in 2006 to 2.3% in 2007. The trade deficit reached an unprecedented amount (26, 5% of GDP). This deficit and the primary income account deficit, were only partially financed by family remittances and donations. As a consequence, the current account reached a deficit equivalent to 10% of GDP, the highest on record since 1994.
