Honduras to receive $200 mln loan to mitigate fuel price pressures. The approval is part of a temporary program by the bank to support Central American countries facing high fuel prices, which have helped push up prices across the board this year. The agreement will support Honduras' subsidy on the tax on super, regular and diesel gasoline, its additional subsidy of 50% of diesel prices and a subsidy for customers with electricity consumption equal to or less than 150 kilowatts-hour. In the statement, the bank's Chief Executive Dante Mossi said the program aims to support the "resilience and economic situations of most vulnerable families" in the Central American region.
