Honduras: Claims on other sectors of the domestic economy (% of GDP)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Honduras' claims on other sectors of the domestic economy (% of GDP) rose 2.94 percentage points on 2023 (from 78.86% to 81.8%).

Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2002 to 2023), the average change was +1.91 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 3.24 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 7.71 percentage points in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.87 percentage points in 2021. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 2.63 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 94% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 86.96% for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 1.86%, against 7.13% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
