Honduras's foreign reserves stood at $7.8B in 2025, a decline of +$275.6M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $7.8B by 2025. Honduras ranked 83rd globally.
Honduras’ foreign exchange reserves have declined markedly since the early 1960s, falling from a modest 13,320,360.00 in 1960 to a historic low of 12,328,965.00 in 1961 before expanding to an all‑time peak of 8,666,862,380.88 in 2021. The most recent figure reported by the World Bank for 2025 stands at 7,760,692,018.27, placing Honduras at 83rd globally and slightly below peers such as Lithuania (7,585,757,773.24) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (7,558,309,971.97). Over the 66‑year coverage period the reserve trajectory shows a long‑term upward bias interrupted by periodic drawdowns, reflecting the country’s reliance on commodity exports, external debt servicing and occasional balance‑of‑payments pressures. The modest retreat from the 2021 peak suggests a cautious reserve‑building stance, but continued export diversification and fiscal consolidation could stabilize or even raise the reserve base in the coming years.
