Cortes, Honduras.
According to the Central Bank of Honduras (BCH), the US dollar registered this Monday 4 of may a new bullish adjustment against the lempira. The purchase price was at L26.5971while the sale price reached L26.7301.
The purchase exchange rate reflects the value at which banks and exchange houses acquire dollars from their clients, mainly individuals and export companies.
Why is there a difference between buying and selling?
For its part, the sales exchange rate indicates the price at which these institutions sell the foreign currency to users who demand it for travel, international payments or imports.
Economic context and demand for dollars
Although family remittances represent a significant source of dollar income to Honduras, the pace of their growth has been insufficient to stop the progressive depreciation of the lempira. So far in May, the US currency has risen more than two cents, reflecting sustained pressure on the local currency.
The BCH is expected to maintain its policy of minimal intervention in the exchange market, respecting the mobile band system agreed with international organizations.
