This country economic memorandum, the first for Honduras since 1987, focuses on policies for macroeconomic stabilization and poverty alleviation. It contains a Poverty Assessment and addresses three main areas: fiscal policy, agriculture and the social sectors. Honduras has suffered from varying degrees of fiscal instability for the last two decades. Recently, this has become chronic. Significant fiscal deficits intensify poverty, first because the consequent macroeconomic instability hits the poor hardest and is not conducive to savings, investment and growth; and second, because they severely limit the fiscal space available for targeted programs. In the social sectors, there are serious inefficiencies and misallocation of resources and insufficient focus on the needs of the poor. Agriculture is key to Honduras~^!!^ ability to grow more rapidly in an equitable manner: society is largely rural, an overwhelming majority of the poor earn their livelihood in agriculture, and agricultural products generate 80 percent of export earnings. This report addresses the key policies and structural reforms required to: 1) underpin a substantially improved fiscal performance; 2) promote more rapid and equitable growth in agriculture; and 3) ensure more effective use of public resources in the social sectors and strengthen existing efforts to target the poor.
