I think we need to start by thinking what kind of economic development will Honduras have? Currently, foreign investment in Honduras is very important. For example, in the apparel sector, labour-intensive investment is crucial for the country, but the conditions under which this sector operates are highly detrimental for development.
That can be changed. One can develop strategies to bring about development that increases the value-added, that increases human capital and the ability to raise productivity in those activities, that advances technological innovation and the introduction of higher-quality products into the line of production, that brings feedback mechanisms that are not an enclave of the economy, that has feedback into the local economy and sources from it.
There are many ways that we have learned, for example, from the success stories in Southeast Asia and East Asia about how you bring about development processes that are very different from the kind of model implied in the FTA.
