The Honduran maquila sector is preparing a strategy to attract new investment and promote the development of new industrial parks, following advances that have removed tariffs affecting textile exports to the United States.

According to Daniel Facussé, the sector is focused on strengthening competitiveness, coordinating efforts between the public and private sectors, and promoting Honduras as an attractive destination for international investment. A new investment promotion committee is also being developed to coordinate with the National Investment Council and facilitate the arrival of new capital.

The opportunity is significant—but capturing it will require competitive infrastructure, reliable energy, productive talent, efficient logistics, and a strong investment environment. Expanding industrial capacity and attracting new investment can help Honduras create more quality jobs and strengthen its role in regional and North American supply chains.

Remittances continue to strengthen the Northern Triangle’s economies. El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras received $24.55 billion in family remittances during the first half of 2026, representing a 7.8% increase compared with the same period last year.

Honduras recorded the strongest growth among the three countries, with remittances increasing 12.3% year over year, reaching $6.52 billion. Guatemala received $12.98 billion (+7%), while El Salvador received $5.06 billion (+4.5%).

Beyond the numbers, remittances reflect the deep economic ties between the Northern Triangle and the United States—and highlight the importance of creating more opportunities for investment, employment, and sustainable economic growth at home.

At HUGE, we believe the region can build on these connections by strengthening its competitiveness, attracting investment, and positioning the Northern Triangle as a strategic platform for friendshoring and regional growth.

Let’s Talk About Housing Ecosystems.

Honduras’ housing challenge is about more than building houses. It is about creating affordable, connected communities where families have access to reliable infrastructure, essential services, employment opportunities, and the conditions to build a better future.

At HUGE, we believe housing is an important extension of the broader work underway in infrastructure, energy, investment mobilization, workforce development, and industrial growth. The proposal is to expand the conversation from housing supply to a broader housing ecosystem built around six interconnected systems: land and regulation, housing supply, financing, infrastructure and basic services, employment and economic development, and existing housing and communities.

Luis Tovar, General Manager of ARGOS Honduras and a HUGE Founder, explains this approach in the article below, and why it is particularly relevant to Honduras’ competitiveness and its opportunity to participate in the next wave of friendshoring.

Guatemala is moving forward with a clearer infrastructure investment agenda. The National Alliance for Infrastructure (ANI) has identified 10 priority infrastructure projects aimed at strengthening connectivity, logistics, mobility, and the country's competitiveness.

For the Northern Triangle, this is particularly relevant. Infrastructure investments are not isolated national projects—they can become critical pieces of the regional economic corridors connecting production centers, ports, borders, and ultimately U.S. markets.

At HUGE, we believe the next step is to connect these investments across energy, logistics, transportation, industrial development, and digital infrastructure, creating an integrated platform capable of attracting the next wave of friendshoring investment.

Strengthening investment and development cooperation in El Salvador can create opportunities well beyond its borders.

President Nayib Bukele’s meeting with World Bank President Ajay Banga focused on strengthening cooperation with multilateral institutions and identifying strategic projects and investment opportunities in El Salvador.

For the Northern Triangle, this type of engagement is particularly relevant. Strategic investments in infrastructure, technology, human capital, and productive capacity can strengthen not only individual economies, but also the region’s ability to operate as an integrated platform for trade, investment, and U.S. supply-chain resilience.

El Salvador’s participation in the Americas Coalition Against Cartels (A3C) underscores the importance of stronger regional cooperation to address transnational organized crime and strengthen security across the Western Hemisphere.

For the Northern Triangle, this kind of cooperation matters beyond security. Greater regional coordination and stability create a stronger foundation for investment, trade, supply-chain resilience, and long-term economic growth.

A more secure and integrated Northern Triangle is essential to building a more prosperous and resilient region—and a stronger partner for the United States.

For the Northern Triangle, stronger ports are not only a national priority—they are a critical piece of a more integrated regional logistics network connecting producers, markets, and the United States.

Modern port infrastructure is essential to Guatemala’s competitiveness. The business sector’s recognition of the benefits of the General National Port System Law highlights an important opportunity to strengthen trade, improve port efficiency, and create greater certainty for investment.

A modern, well-governed port system can help Guatemala reduce logistics costs, facilitate the movement of goods, and strengthen its position as a strategic gateway to North American markets.

El Salvador’s economy is gaining momentum. Economic activity grew 5.6% in May, its strongest growth rate in nine months, according to the Central Reserve Bank.

Construction led the expansion at 9.7%, while commerce, transportation, hotels and restaurants grew 6.7%. Industrial production also expanded 4.5%, supported by stronger performance in pharmaceuticals and food.

This momentum reinforces the opportunity to strengthen investment, infrastructure, and productive capacity—building a more competitive El Salvador and a stronger Northern Triangle platform for regional integration and U.S. supply-chain growth.

A recent logistics test in Mexico moved 900 Hyundai vehicles from Asia to the U.S. East Coast in approximately 72 hours, using the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to connect the Pacific and Atlantic.

Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador have a strategic opportunity to develop integrated Atlantic–Pacific corridors that link them more efficiently to the United States. The question is no longer how to move cargo. It is how to build the integrated infrastructure platform that makes the Northern Triangle more competitive, resilient, and investment-ready.

Strong exporters are essential to building a more competitive Northern Triangle. The continued leadership of El Salvador's top exporting company reflects the country's manufacturing capacity and the value of sustained investment in industries that generate jobs, strengthen supply chains, and expand access to international markets.

As global companies continue to diversify their supply chains, strengthening the region's logistics, infrastructure, and workforce will be key to attracting new investment and increasing high-value exports across Central America.
