Seis meses sin cifras de remesas en Nicaragua: el FMI critica la falta de transparencia y advierte un panorama más incierto
El Banco Central no publica datos de remesas desde abril, cuando se reportó una pérdida de US$30 millones en un mes. El silencio coincide con mayor incertidumbre migratoria en Estados Unidos. El FMI pide liberar la información.
TL;DR
- The Central Bank of Nicaragua has not published family remittance data for over six months.
- The last reported figures in April 2025 showed a decrease of $30.4 million (-5.7%) compared to March.
- The IMF has urged the Nicaraguan regime to improve the timeliness and detail of key statistics, including remittances.
- Remittances account for over 26% of Nicaragua's GDP.
- The decline in remittances is partly attributed to migratory uncertainty in the United States, the primary source of these funds.
- The IMF projects Nicaragua's economic growth to fall from 3.8% in 2025 to 3.4% in 2026, citing falling remittances among other factors.
- This projection contrasts with the government's claims of economic dynamism.
