International Monetary Fund
The Joint Staff Advisory Note on Honduras’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper Second Annual Progress Report is presented. The framework, which is consistent with the government’s economic program being supported by the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility arrangement, aims at achieving sustainable growth, reducing poverty, and maintaining macroeconomic and financial stability. The strategy involves continuing structural reforms and prudent macroeconomic policies. Reforms to boost growth focus on strengthening the development of human capital and basic infrastructure, improving the environment for private sector development, and using international trade agreements.

Expenditure Issues and Governance in Central America
Ms. Ana Corbacho
and
Mr. Hamid R Davoodi
This paper analyzes Central America's track record on inequality, poverty, and quality of fiscal adjustment in relation to economic growth; health and education outcomes; adequacy of social safety nets; and governance. It then assesses the degree to which the track record can be traced to reforms in public expenditure and governance. Despite the considerable heterogeneity among the countries in the region, there are some policies that all countries need to pursue. Sustained growth and a better quality of fiscal adjustment are needed, as well as policies aimed at increasing individuals' productivity and improving governance.
