According to the preliminary assessment of the Economies of Latin America and the Caribbean 2025 by ECLAC, cited in the Pastran Report bulletin, these figures place the country above the regional average, estimated at 2.4 percent for this year and 2.3 percent for next year.

The report highlights the resilience of private consumption in Nicaragua, driven by increased remittances, which exceed 20 percent of GDP—at levels similar to Honduras—as well as by the expansion of bank credit.

The ECLAC highlighted the strong growth in agricultural exports, particularly coffee and other primary goods, which have significantly contributed to economic dynamism, as well as the progress of mining.

Price stabilization has been a significant process for Nicaragua, where year-on-year inflation fell sharply to 2.2 percent as of September 2025, well below the peak of 11.3 percent recorded in 2022.

The publication notes that controlling inflation protects the purchasing power of Nicaraguan families and confirms the effectiveness of the monetary policies implemented in the face of external pressures.

The ECLAC pointed out that Nicaragua has managed to overcome the obstacles facing the region and that growth projections for this year and next confirm that the country has broken with the slowdown trend affecting much of the continent.
