El tiempo para evitar un arbitraje internacional se está agotando. Honduras Próspera reitera la necesidad de establecer un diálogo formal con el Gobierno de Honduras bajo prácticas y protocolos internacionales que son habituales en procesos de diálogo entre inversionistas y Estados, que benefician a ambas partes y que son indispensables para encontrar una solución amistosa. 
Para lograr conversaciones constructivas y productivas, las partes deben formalizar un acuerdo de no divulgación (“NDA”) que proteja las posiciones legales de ambas partes y les permita conversar entre sí con entera confianza, creando un ambiente donde las partes pueden compartirse información mutuamente y debatir potenciales soluciones sin temor a perjudicar sus posturas legales ante un potencial proceso de arbitraje. El diálogo bajo condiciones de “no divulgación” y “sin perjuicio” es una práctica internacional habitual e incluso es recomendada por el Centro Internacional de Arreglo de Diferencias Relativas a Inversiones (CIADI) en sus Notas Prácticas para el Uso de Demandados.
Reiteramos que el Estado de Honduras ha garantizado la estabilidad y vigencia del marco legal de Próspera ZEDE por un periodo de 50 años, independientemente de si las reformas constitucionales o la Ley Orgánica de las ZEDE fuesen derogadas. Es evidente que el derecho nacional e internacional respalda las inversiones de Honduras Próspera y la operación de Próspera ZEDE, las cuales se amparan en las decisiones de los tres poderes del Estado de Honduras (Ejecutivo, Legislativo y Judicial), expresadas mediante decenas de instrumentos y actos jurídicos, incluyendo la ratificación de tratados internacionales, la emisión de sentencias de la Corte Suprema de Justicia y la aprobación de reformas constitucionales, leyes especiales, actos administrativos, contratos de estabilidad jurídica y autorizaciones de inversión. 
El modelo de negocio de Honduras Próspera, desplegado a través de la plataforma legal de Próspera ZEDE, ha logrado la generación de más de 1,100 empleos hondureños directos e indirectos y el establecimiento de alrededor de 100 nuevas empresas innovadoras nacionales e internacionales.
Confiamos que sólo a través de una mesa de diálogo bajo los estándares antes descritos lograremos evitar un arbitraje internacional y alcanzar una solución amistosa que nos permita seguir invirtiendo en Honduras y generando tan necesitadas oportunidades de empleo para la población hondureña.

Government

Honduras Próspera Inc., the U.S. promoter and organizer of Próspera ZEDE, is protected by a 50-year legal stability guarantee for its investments under international and Honduran law. Honduras Próspera remains committed to exercising its clear legal right to create 10,000 new Honduran jobs and draw US$500m in foreign investment to Honduras by 2025.
Nevertheless, this week, Congressman Luis Redondo asserted that ZEDEs approved before April 2022 cannot legally operate and have never legally operated. We regret the unfounded opinion by Mr. Redondo. Mr. Redondo’s statement does not represent an act of the National Congress of Honduras nor even an opinion of the National Congress. It is not supported by any congressional vote.
If meant to apply to Próspera, there is good reason to doubt that Mr. Redondo’s statement represents the position of the Administration of President Xiomara Castro. Mr. Redondo is not a member of the Libre Party; and the Castro Administration has repeatedly stated it is committed to respecting the Rule of Law and improving the foreign direct investment climate in Honduras to create more and better jobs. 
Próspera’s investment framework was sustained as constitutional by the Honduran Supreme Court not just once, but on multiple occasions. It was implemented by at least six legislative decrees and at least three executive decrees over ten years. The legal stability of Próspera is guaranteed for at least 50 years by legal stability agreements, international treaties, and Honduran law. No investment in Honduras can be regarded as secure if these guarantees are not honored.
Legal stability and certainty is a prerequisite for large-scale, long-term investments in the hundreds of millions of dollars, as planned by Honduras Próspera. In order to draw new foreign investment to Honduras at a scale never-before-seen, Próspera investors have been deploying a business model of delivering high integrity, high efficiency rule-of-law governance, which meets or exceeds U.S. and international anticorruption and other standards. This business model now directly or indirectly employs over 1100 local Hondurans and sustains nearly 100 innovative Honduran and international businesses.
It is time for reasonable people to prevail. Honduras Próspera remains willing to pursue a constructive dialogue with the Honduran government to find a mutually advantageous solution to any existing differences which would also be an opportunity for Honduras to enhance competitiveness, foster creativity and innovation, create opportunities for economic and social development, and enhance worker’s rights, among other goals of the CAFTA-DR, and which would send a positive message to other international investors and institutions.

U.S. investor Honduras Próspera, Inc. has demonstrated and hereby reiterates its longstanding commitment to the development of Honduras. Since 2018, Honduras Próspera has invested significant resources in Honduras and made Próspera ZEDE a strong platform for economic development. The company remains committed to the successful development of Próspera, even as the Republic of Honduras is taking steps to repeal aspects of the legal framework for special economic development zones (ZEDEs), in view of Honduras’s commitments of legal stability for investors.
When investing in Honduras, Honduras Próspera, Inc. relied on specific legal stability guarantees from Honduras that the rights and authorities provided by the ZEDE legal framework would remain in effect as to Próspera for many decades. Honduras Próspera respects the sovereignty of Honduras and its right to change its laws, but expects Honduras to respect its commitments under legal stability agreements and international treaties, consistent with President’s Castro recent assurances to the <a href="https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-economic-growth-energy-and-the-environment/" target="_blank">Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment of the United States </a>that Honduras would guarantee legal security to attract foreign investment. 
Honduras Próspera, Inc. embraces the shared principle that Hondurans should be empowered to control their own destiny and reach their true potential. The company affirms its commitment to continue current cooperation and discussions with Honduran officials, while underscoring at all times its rights under legal stability agreements and international treaties. Honduras Próspera looks forward to a productive dialogue that will demonstrate to the world that Honduras welcomes serious investors to promote economic growth and development.

Honduras Próspera, Inc reiterates its commitment to Próspera ZEDE

Próspera ZEDE, an enhanced Special Economic Zone legally similar to Hong Kong (SAR) and located on the Island of Roatan in the Western Caribbean and the Northern Corridor of Honduras, announced today that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies effectively operate as legal tender within its jurisdiction. 
The Próspera ZEDE also announced that municipalities, local governments, and international firms can issue Bitcoin Bonds from the Próspera ZEDE jurisdiction with world class KYC and AML standards, creating a new and accessible tool for attracting FDI and driving economic development in Honduras. 
The announcement positions Próspera as one of the leading jurisdictions in the world for financial innovation and investment. In Próspera, Bitcoin can be used as a form of payment for individuals and businesses. Unlike most other jurisdictions, transactions in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not subject to capital gains taxes. Próspera also accepts payment of taxes and fees using Bitcoin and enables residents to build crypto-focused businesses using an optimal regulatory framework of their choice, all undergirded by world-class AML and KYC standards to ensure worldwide regulatory compliance. 
 Starting today, the Próspera jurisdiction can enable municipalities in Honduras to issue Bitcoin Bonds to attract foreign direct investment directly to where it is needed most. Non-US companies and other political subdivisions from around the world can also issue Bitcoin Bonds through Próspera’s innovative regulatory system. In all cases, Bitcoin Bonds issued through Próspera will comply with world-class standards for AML and KYC. 
 The Promoter and Organizer of Prospera ZEDE, Honduras Próspera Inc. (a Delaware Corp.) is currently accepting investment in a Security Token Convertible Note Offering, which is now live on the Securitize platform. Accredited investors worldwide can invest in the companies building Próspera in total compliance with US legal and regulatory standards, and receive equity in the form of a Security token. Próspera’s flexible regulatory framework enables crypto-innovation and the use of Bitcoin by residents, businesses, and governments. 
By enabling Bitcoin Bonds to be issued by municipalities and local governments, in full compliance with world-class KYC and AML standards, Próspera is enabling local communities to have direct access to growing cryptocurrency global marketplace, which was nearly $2 Trillion in 2021 and is expected to surpass $30 Trillion by 2027. 
This new form of foreign direct investment, combined with Próspera’s services, can help transform impoverished communities into flouring centers of innovation and prosperity.

Three teams of entrepreneurs from the Crawfish Rock community had the opportunity to take part in a 4-week entrepreneurial bootcamp, sponsored by the Próspera Foundation. The participants learned a number of topics ranging from the basics of starting a business to project positioning, marketing and finance thanks to a partnership between Próspera and T&M.
To culminate four weeks of successful training, a project competition was organised on October 1, allowing these brilliant local entrepreneurs to show off their business ideas to an evaluation committee as well as to the public at large.
Three Roatan young entrepreneurs impressed the judges with their idea for Clean4u, a website that will enable islanders to access deep cleaning services at affordable rates and convenience. They were awarded the first prize in the competition, consisting of $1000.
“Our dream is for the company to grow, to make it a franchise and spread it across the world and winning the competition was just a start.”, said the members of the winning team.
Steven Namanny, manager of the Próspera Foundation, said the training and competition highlighted the power of entrepreneurship and wishes for improvement in the local community.
David Sandino, Program Manager at T&M, remarked: “We are thrilled to support the community providing business training. Our goal is to help businesses be competitive by implementing digital transformation and to boost employment opportunities through education”.
