Honduras ? the ancient land of the Mayas
In the ancient times Honduras was the land of many important civilizations, the most significant one of them being the Mayas. The country was later conquered by the Spanish, and was known as Spanish Honduras. Since then Spanish was the language of the land. After Honduras gained independence in 1821, the country has become a republic.
The economy of the country of Honduras is mainly depended on agriculture. Honduras exports coffee and bananas; and they are also into pisciculture. Shrimps are also exported by Honduras. Extensive forest and mines producing gold, silver, zinc and lead, are also widespread in Honduras. However, the economy of Honduras was wiped out after the hurricane Mitch, in 1998. However, Honduras tried to fight back that phase of recession but yet it remains to be the third poorest country in America.
The government of the country being knew its responsibilities well and they signed an Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF), which was later changed into Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF), with the IMF or the International Monetary Fund in 1999. Since the year of 2000, Honduras succeeded in maintaining a stable macroeconomic policy. What all come in the way of economic development of Honduras are the barren land, few resources, and a small domestic market.
