From a statement issued by the ICEFI:

The Icefi is concerned about the tax changes in recent years because part of its impact is an increase in the regressivity of the tax system, less fiscal space for social spending, as well as a latent opacity in the discussion on the use of State property and new fiscal institutions.  These negative effects detract from the achievements made in terms of macro-fiscal stability in the medium term, we warn, this will increase democratic ungovernability, public distrust and restrict the scope for sustainable, sustained and inclusive economic growth.

The changes in Honduran fiscal policy since 2014 have been characterized by a strong adjustment process and institutional changes that determine not only its effect on the economy as a whole but also its dynamics in the medium term.
