What’s The Nicaragua Economy Like?

Simply put, Nicaragua is economically challenged. It remains the poorest country in Central America and the second poorest in the entire Western Hemisphere.

However, it is growing. And the combination of poverty and growth make it an ideal place to invest, which in turn helps support the Nicaraguan economy and earn the investor a tidy return too.

Under the administration of President Daniel Ortega, the Nicaraguan economy has increased dramatically although this growth has been somewhat held back by the global recession that began in 2008.

Inflation appears to be under control as well, at just over 6.32% in 2022, down from a high of almost 10.5% in 2022.
