At its current pace,  it will take 160 years for Honduras to achieve a similar GDP per capita to that of the United States today. Yet there seems to be little hope for a top-down shift in policies and meaningful improvement of Honduras\u2019s present-day institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the successful implementation of an SEZ could change this pessimistic outlook. <\/p>\n<p>In this study, we attempt to estimate the (potential) impact of a successful ZEDE in Honduras on the material well-being of its citizens, as well as providing a list of policy recommendations to achieve a successful ZEDE. If implemented successfully, a ZEDE could empower a significant group of Hondurans and achieve meaningful GDP growth over the coming decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":3048,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"anio":"2019","mes":"April","id_estadisticas":"stat-honduras-zede-2019","newsletter_link":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/honduras-zede-ufm-market-trends.pdf","portada_informe":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/honduras-april-2019.png","subtitulo":"Honduras 2019 Special Report","footnotes":""},"tags":[227,226],"class_list":["post-2906","newsletter","type-newsletter","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-227","tag-honduras"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newsletter\/2906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newsletter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/newsletter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/104"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newsletter\/2906\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3047,"href":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newsletter\/2906\/revisions\/3047"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trends.ufm.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
