Honduras raises fuel prices up to L.4.69 despite increasing subsidy to 65%

Honduras' energy secretariat (SEN) announced a new fuel price structure effective September 21, 2026, raising prices by up to L.4.69 per unit despite increasing the government subsidy to 65%. The move signals continued fiscal pressure and incomplete pass-through of global energy costs, likely straining household budgets and inflation. The exact fuel types affected and the duration of the subsidy increase remain unspecified.
