Honduran economist warns TPM hike raises credit costs, stifles investment

Economist Nelson Ávila publicly criticized the Central Bank of Honduras (BCH) for raising the Monetary Policy Rate (TPM), arguing it increases financing costs and discourages productive investment. The statement reflects domestic dissent over monetary tightening, though it is an opinion rather than a confirmed policy shift. The BCH's rate decision itself is the underlying market-relevant event, but this item adds no new data.
