  "account": "Honduras’ Congress has 15 days to reach an agreement on the energy reform, which would restructure the state power company ENEE into three separate units. The overhaul aims to improve efficiency, attract investment, and address ENEE’s chronic financial and operational problems. The Liberal Party has proposed an alternative plan, adding complexity to the negotiations. If consensus remains elusive, the government may consider emergency measures such as tenders or decrees to bypass full legislative approval. Meanwhile, Honduras is also seeking a trade agreement with Belize to strengthen ties in the Caribbean region.",
