Overview
Honduras's exchange rate stood at 24.80 in 2025, a rise of +0.00 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 24.80 by 2025. Honduras ranked 86th globally.
Honduras’ official exchange rate has risen dramatically over the 56‑year series, moving from an all‑time trough of 2.00 per U.S. dollar in 1989 to an all‑time peak of 24.80 in 2025, where it ranks 86th globally. The 2025 figure of 24.80 reflects a cumulative depreciation of the lempira of more than 1,100 % since the late 1980s, outpacing many peers in the lower‑income block; for comparison, Zambia recorded 25.09 and Sierra Leone 24.45 in the same year. The steepening trend accelerated after the early 2000s, driven by fiscal deficits, external debt pressures and periodic currency devaluations, while periods of relative stability in the 1990s coincided with modest inflation and modest export growth. Although the lempira’s loss has been partly offset by remittance inflows, continued external shocks or a reversal in fiscal discipline could reshape the trajectory, while sustained macro‑economic reforms might stabilize or modestly appreciate the currency in the medium term.
