1. Rasgos generales de la evolución reciente En un entorno externo en general favorable, en 2005 la economía hondureña aumentó 4,1%, aunque por debajo del 5% del 2004. El desempeño del producto interno bruto (PIB) fue liderado por la demanda interna. Pese a los elevados precios de los combustibles, la inflación anual disminuyó a 7,7% desde el 9,2% del 2004. La tasa de desempleo abierto nacional descendió, de 5,9% en mayo del 2004 a 4,1% en septiembre del 2005, a pesar de la moderada desaceleración del crecimiento. El déficit en cuenta corriente de la balanza de pagos registró la proporción sin precedente de sólo 0,5% del PIB, a la vez que mejoraron las cuentas fiscales.
