What this value means
TPM raised +175bp from 4.00% to 5.75% effective Monday 2024-10-28 (Resolución 456-10/2024, adopted 24-Oct-2024, notified to the financial system via Circular D-30/2024), an adjustment tied to Honduras' IMF program. Held at 5.75% ever since: the BCH's own Programa Monetario 2026-2027 (official PDF, data to 20-Apr-2026, loaded directly) shows TPM at 5.75% in Apr-2025, Dec-2025 and Apr-2026, and Honduran press (Hondudiario, Infobae, 1-3 Jul 2026) report COMA again held 5.75% at its late-June/July 2026 review citing alignment with the Fed and the Middle East fuel shock — the COMA comunicado itself is not at a stable fetchable URL. BCH inflation tolerance range: 4.0% +/- 1.0pp. Access quirk: the bch.hn TPM landing page (politica-institucional/politica-monetaria/tasa-de-politica-monetaria) renders the current value dynamically and returns only definitional text to scrapers; several older bch.hn paths 404 — use the /estadisticos/ PDF tree. Prior level was 4.00% (itself raised from the post-COVID 3.00% during 2024); exact effective date of the 4.00% step not re-verified against a primary instrument, so history is left empty rather than guessed.
