This is one of the poorest and least developed countries in Latin America. Industrial development has been limited, and historically the economy has been dependent on agricultural exports, such as coffee and bananas. However, Hurricane Mitch deeply affected the banana industry and coffee exports have been reduced by a slump in world prices.
However, in the past 15 years, the economy has been diversified, with the development of non-traditional exports such as cultivated shrimp and melons, and the establishment of the maquila industry (primarily, assembly for re-export of textiles and apparel). The maquila industry, drawing on an incredibly low-paid work force, is now the second-largest in the world, and also the major generator of export revenues for Honduras. However, the 2005 liberalization of China's export quotas could seriously affect Honduras. Tourism, which is growing in leaps and bounds, appears to be the most promising factor for future economic growth - if tourist activities are carefully monitored to avoid destruction of delicate ecosystems, which are the primary attraction, and if soaring post-Hurricane Mitch crime rates are contained. The current President, Ricardo Maduro, won the election in 2000 on an anti-crime platform, and has passed strong anti-gang legislation during his term of office. However, gruesome gang violence continues and drug trafficking and money laundering are major industries. Although increased police presence has reduced the official crime rate, providing social stability would achieve better results. The lack of opportunity, unemployment, underemployment, poor education, and corruption, together with the unequal distribution of wealth, keep the country in poverty, which fuels popular discontent and violence.
Honduras has extensive forest, marine, and mineral resources, although widespread slash-and-burn agricultural methods and uncontrolled logging continue to destroy Honduran forests.
While inflation has dropped slightly and Honduras continues to maintain stable macroeconomic policies, it has lagged in implementing structural reforms.
Family remittances from Hondurans living abroad (mostly in the United States) rose 19% to $860 million in 2003, and are soon expected to pass the maquila sector as the country's largest source of foreign exchange.
