Overview
Honduras's fdi inflows stood at 4.20% in 2025, a rise of +0.67% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 4.20% by 2025. Honduras ranked 66th globally.
Honduras’ foreign direct investment inflows have risen modestly from the 1970 s low of 0.93 billion dollars to a 2025 level of 4.20 billion dollars, placing the country 66th in the world. The trajectory peaked in 2008 when inflows reached an all‑time high of 8.65 billion dollars, a surge driven by liberalised trade policies and a brief commodity boom, before slipping to a historic trough of –0.10 billion dollars in 1981 amid regional debt crises and political instability. Over the 56‑year series, Honduras’ performance clusters with peers such as Côte d’Ivoire (4.21 billion) and Viet Nam (4.13 billion), reflecting comparable scale despite differing institutional contexts. Recent modest growth suggests a gradual re‑integration into global value chains, but sustaining an upward trend will depend on improving governance, expanding infrastructure and deepening trade agreements, which could lift future inflows beyond the current plateau.
