Honduras: Gross savings (% of GDP)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Honduras' gross savings (% of GDP) rose 8.01 percentage points on 2024 (from 18.9% to 26.91%).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −0.19 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.49 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 3.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 8.01 percentage points in 2025 and the biggest yearly fall was 6.62 percentage points in 2000. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures

Savings is an amount that represents the part of disposable income (adjusted for the change in pension entitlements) that is not spent on final consumption. Gross savings are calculated as gross national income less total consumption, plus net transfers. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
