The 70 year old Mr. Slim (of Mexico), is estimated to be worth 53.5 billion dollars, even topping Bill Gates of the United States, who has acquired 53 billion.
“Honduras is Open for Business” aims to promote Honduras as a destination for foreign investment, and Minister Canahuati proudly conveyed more than 55 foreign companies have confirmed their participation in the event.
The event is being held in San Pedro Sula on May 5th and 6th, when the country intends to project “a different Honduras, a Honduras that is ready to receive investors,” according to the Minister.
Among the participants, he added, “we have now confirmed an employment representative from Taiwan,” and “we have also confirmed an investment project coordinator from mainland China.” He said several Central American leaders who have made the decision to stand by President Lobo will also participate, allowing this event to take place with “the support of the international community.”
Canahuati reaffirmed that the conclave will be presented over 100 investment projects with “laws that will ensure that Honduras becomes a country of investment. “
He explained that as preparatory steps, he will be “Socializing the project, working with different ministries, and incorporating employers to be fully involved” as well as the media, workers, and civil society in general.

It is good news to see that somebody recognises the needs of our country, better yet when it is a man that believes in the good ethics of work and business.
Hondurans have the responsabilty to make this one happen, to stop the ugly head of theat monster we all know, “CORRUPTION” to come up and destroy what can very well be our last chance to live under the better and nicer conditions that a good economy can bring to our people.
Let the people of Honduras be united against their worst enemy in their search for a better economy.
The problem with Honduras is not that ‘it is not’
“Ready to recieve investors”.
It is more that Honduras is totally not willing to perform in a “NON-CORRUPT MANNER”.
As to why is it so difucult for Hondurans to understand that investors are not fools, and that they seek to gain a return profit from their investment, is beyond me.
They may be able to steal their money once, but word of mouth spreads rapidly, so the investors community will know soon that investing there can be too risky.
