for economic development and poverty reduction. This lending produces
approximately 40,000 contracts for goods, public works and consulting
services each year. We will take a look at procurement reforms, key
among them a move from a “lowest cost” to a “best value” procurement
model that will open up opportunities for U.S. companies in the Bank’s

Florida, Inc. (EFI) will lead an export sales mission to Honduras from

for the rest of Central America due to some of the lowest logistical
costs in the region. Facilitated by the U.S.-Central America Free Trade
Agreement (CAFTA-DR), the U.S. has become the chief trading partner for
Honduras and exporters benefit from eliminated tariffs and barriers.
