Indeed, international beggary has been the major source of Honduras income for at least half a century. In the course of establishing this record, after interest and principle forgiveness, restructuring of obligations, gifts, etc. The bitter truth is that Honduras is a terrible credit risk. Honduras hardly ever repays principal and, almost as often as not, also defaults on interest obligations. This kind of a default record does not encourage potential lenders to keep bankrolling a non-performing client nation.
Lenders like to get paid.
International sympathy is a strong motivator to provide the money needed to rebuild the storm-trashed nation. These requirements are intended to make sure that accounting practices, progress reports and conformity to engineering standards are met. Flores is complaining bitterly that meeting these requirements of the lenders, as a precondition to release of the funds, is taking lots of time and delaying arrival of the money in Honduras, where it needs to be spent. Without doubt, his complaint concerning disbursement delays is well-founded. In justification of the position of the lenders, however, and based on the Honduras fiscal record as a borrower, it's difficult to imagine how it could be otherwise.
