Nicaragua has maintained stable economic growth over the past three years, with an average rate of 4%. In 2024, the economy grew by 3.6%, a slight slowdown compared to 2023, and is expected to grow by 3.1 percent in 2025, supported by remittances, construction, services and mining.
Nicaragua is projected to grow by 3.0 percent in 2026 in a context of global economic slowdown that could affect export opportunities and foreign investment. Remittances are expected to moderate their growth but will continue to support domestic consumption.
Nicaragua’s macroeconomic environment remains stable. Public debt stands at 50.3 percent in 2025 and then at 47.9 percent for 2027, and the country has international reserves estimated at $7.2 billion in 2025 (equivalent to 9.2 months of imports), which strengthens its resilience to economic shocks. Inflation is expected to close at 2 percent in 2025.
