ITC by country - Honduras 2 1. Country / Territory Brief

The economy of Honduras is mainly based on . The country’s principle income comes from the traditional exports of , , cultivated and, more recently, apparel and automobile wire harnessing. Honduras is also the country with the third- largest sector in the world. Despite its continuing growth and important inward foreign direct investment, Honduras is the second poorest country of . The country faces high and dependence on the US market with a narrow export base and a small manufacturing sector.

In 2014, ITC signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Secretaría de integración económica centroamericana (SIECA) to support Central America economic development and regional integration. In this context, over the next 3 years ITC work in Central America will mainly focus on regional initiatives that address cross-cutting issues including trade information and market intelligence, regional branding and women economic empowerment. ITC is also partnering with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to strengthen Trade Promotion Organizations on results-based-management.

ITC by country - Honduras18 4.2 Domestic and Foreign Market Access

Overview: Trade Policy and Business Environment

The Republic of Honduras is a lower-middle income country facing major challenges, with more than two thirds of the country’s population living in poverty, and around 46 per cent in extreme poverty. Honduras was ranked 78th out of 132 countries in the World Economic Forum (WEF) Enabling Trade Index (2012), which measures institutions, policies and services to facilitate trade in countries. The Honduran trade regime is very open. Globally the country’s exports are facing very good access to external markets. In turn the country is open to receiving imports; however, owing to a poor business environment (in particular, cumbersome and time-consuming bureaucratic regulations) and weak performance in key trade enabling infrastructure services, foreign trade activities are significantly hampered. The implementation of numerous free trade agreements in recent years is considered to have led to some modernization and liberalization of country’s trade and investment regimes (World Bank 2012; WEF 2012)

WTO, 2012, Trade Profile (Honduras)

INDICATOR, UNITS RANK/132 SCORE

Domestic Market Access The pillar assesses the level and complexity of a country’s tariff protection 17 5.66 as a result of its trade policy. This component includes the effective trade-weighted average tariff applied by a country, the share of goods imported duty free and the complexity of the tariff regime, measured through tariff variance, the prevalence of tariff peaks and specific tariffs, and the number of distinct tariffs. Foreign Market Access The pillar assesses tariff barriers faced by a country’s exporters in destination 27 3.59 markets. It includes the average tariffs faced by the country as well as the margin of preference in destination markets negotiated through bilateral or regional trade agreements or granted in the form of trade preferences. Tariff rate (%) This indicator is calculated as a trade-weighted average of all the applied tariff rates, 60 4.56 including preferential rates that a country applies to the rest of the world. The weights are the trade patterns of the importing country’s reference group (2012 data). An applied tariff is a customs duty that is levied on imports of merchandise goods. Complexity of tariffs , index 1-7 (best) This indicator is calculated as the average of the following 22 6.63 indicators: Tariff dispersion, Specific tariffs and Number of distinct tariffs. See description of each individual indicator for more details. Prior to averaging, values for each indicator were transformed to a 1–7 score, using the min-max method. Tariffs dispersion (standard deviation) This indicator reflects differences in tariffs across product 24 6.69 categories in a country’s tariff structure. The variance is calculated across all the tariffs on imported merchandise goods, at the 6-digit level of the Harmonized Schedule. Tariffs peaks (%) This indicator is the ratio of the number of tariff lines exceeding three times the 43 0.78 average domestic tariff (across all products) to the MFN (most-favoured nation) tariff schedule. The tariff schedule is equal to the total number of tariff lines for each country. These tariffs are revised on a yearly basis. Specific tariffs (%) This indicator is the ratio of the number of Harmonized System (HS) tariff lines, 1 0.00 with at least one specific tariff, to the total number of HS tariff lines. A specific tariff is a tariff rate charged on fixed amount per quantity (as opposed to ad valorem) Number of distinct tariffs This indicator reflects the number of distinct tariff rates applied by a country 40 12.00 to its imports across all sectors. Share of duty-free imports (%) Share of trade, excluding petroleum, that is imported free of tariff 33 69.42 duties, taking into account MFN tariffs and preferential agreements. Tariff data is from 2013 or most recent year available and imports data is from 2012 Tariffs faced (%) This indicator is calculated as the trade-weighted average of the applied tariff rates, 65 5.41 including preferential rates that the rest of the world applies to each country. The weights are the trade patterns of the importing country’s reference group (2012 data). A tariff is a customs duty that is levied by the destination country on imports of merchandise goods Index of margin of preference in destination markets, 0-100 (best) This indicator measures the 9 62.67 percentage by which particular imports from one country are subject to lower tariffs than the MFN rate. It is calculated as the average of two components: 1) the trade-weighted average difference between the MFN tariff and the most advantageous preferential duty (advantage score), and 2) the ratio of the advantage score to the trade-weighted average MFN tariff level. This allows capturing both the absolute and the relative margin of preference. ITC by country - Honduras19 Source : World Economic Forum, Global Enabling Trade Report 2014

Trade Policy and Market Access

The Honduran trade regime is relatively open, with an average tariff rate of around 6 per cent in 2012 (relatively stable at this rate for over 10 years), modest use of non-tariff barriers and no use of contingency measures. Agricultural products are subject to an average tariff of 10.5 per cent, while the average tariff for non agricultural products was 5.0 per cent. The dairy products fall under comparably high average applied tariff of 22.5 per cent and some animal products come under high maximum tariff of 165 per cent. Honduras not only has free trade agreements with Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Taiwan and , but also participates in the Central American Common Market (CACM) to which Guatemala, El Salvador, and Costa Rica are other members. As a member of CACM, Honduras applies a common external tariff (CET) on most items at a maximum of 15 per cent with some exceptions. The CACM also concluded free trade agreements with the United States and the Dominican Republic (CAFTA-DR) in 2004 and entered into a free trade agreement with the EU in 2011. The implementation of these free trade agreements has led to modernization and liberalization of the country’s trade and investment regimes. (WTO, 2012).

Standard Compliance and Other Relevant Import/Export Restrictions

With regards to sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPS), the lack of capacity to meet various standards had hindered the development of exports. For example, in the livestock industry classical swine fever in the region is a significant constraint on exporters of pork. In March 2010 the Standards and Trade Development Facility began a new project aimed at improving the operation of the National SPS Committee in Honduras (WTO 2010). Moreover, with respect to technical regulation and standards, Honduras joins the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Pan American Commission for Technical Standards (COPANT). The CAFTA-DR provides that the regulations of trading partners shall be accepted as equivalent. Honduras refers to international standards when preparing or applying its standardization measures, insofar as they effectively or adequately help achieving its legitimate objectives.

ITC by country - Honduras20 4.3 Trade Facilitation

According to the World Bank Logistics Performance Index (LPI) (2012) which measures countries’ trade logistics efficiency, Honduras was ranked 70th out of 155 countries. This means that the country is slightly better than the regional average ( and Caribbean) and considerably better than its income group averages (Low middle income). Its strongest logistics indicators are in the timeliness of cargo reaching destinations as well as the ability to track and trace consignments, while it performs comparatively poorly in the ease of arranging competitively priced shipments and the quality of trade related infrastructure. These findings are well reflected in the World Bank Doing Business (2014). It states that trading a standard container of goods needs 28 days in total (12 days for export and 16 days for import), which takes less than the regional average of 36 days (17 days for export and 19 days for import). Since 2009 Honduras has adopted a number of reforms that have improved the facilitation of trade, which, most significantly, include: Description abolishing consular legalization for trade documents, which led to a reduction of one document for import; implementing a web-based electronic data interchange system and X-ray machines at the port of Puerto Cortes, and; introducing the authorized economic operators (AEO) system to fast track the clearance of trusted traders goods (World Bank 2014).

ITC by country - Honduras22 4.4 Business and Regulatory Environment

Honduras’s liberal trade regime is disadvantaged by cumbersome and time-consuming bureaucratic regulations. This is shown clearly by numerous major international sources that assess a countries business and regulatory environment. The World Bank Doing Business Report (2013) ranked Honduras 127th out of 185 economies. Honduran performance was below the regional average rank of 100. Among the 10 categories analysed by this study, Honduras performs relatively better in enforcing contracts and dealing, registering property and getting credit whereas dealing with construction permits and trading across borders are not favourable. Since 2008 the World Bank considered that the country has implemented a number of positive reforms that are likely to improve the situation. However, despite the Description evolving regulatory environment, the pace of reform has been slow, particularly in the areas of licensing requirements for starting a business and labour regulations which are considered burdensome and outmoded. There has been an improvement in the overall investment climate in recent years, yet bureaucratic obstacles, lack of physical and legal security, as well as corruption hamper such progress. The legal framework continues to be underdeveloped, and protection of property rights is weak.

ITC by country - Honduras24 4.5 Infrastructure

The WEF Global Competitiveness Report (2013) ranked the quality of overall infrastructure of Honduras 97th out of 144 countries. Among the categories, the quality of port infrastructure performed within their region comparatively well, whereas the railroad infrastructure and electricity supply are notable for their poor performance. The main obstacles to foreign investors in the railway freight transportation, port operation, and electricity transmission exist primarily due to publicly owned enterprises with monopolistic market structures. The financial sector is under-development and has high costs of/limited access to trade finance, and low efficiency in commodity markets. In recent years, the government has engaged in liberalisation and the opening up of the main infrastructure services in an effort to increase their competitiveness. Whist anti-monopoly rules are considered to exist and are supervised by the Commission for the Defence and Promotion of Competition; the rules are not consistently enforced. One example exists for fixed telephony, ‘Hondutel’ continues to hold a monopoly, but has granted concessions to sub- operators for domestic telephony and the company maintains exclusive control over international calls. As such, the existence of anti-competitive practices acts as major barriers to lowering costs and increasing the coverage and supply of services.
