Remittances sent to Honduras totaled $2.7 million, according to the Central Bank of Honduras (BCH).
Proceso Digital reports on its website: "Despite the increase, it was less in 2007-2008 than in 2006-2007, when it was 11.6%, it was said.

Honduran economic authorities had forecast the drop in the growth rate for remittances due to the unemployment that is affecting more and more Hondurans due to the crisis in the United States.
