UPDATE 1-Honduras' cenbank sees inflation easing in 2023, 2024

(Adds GDP forecast, cenbank comments) TEGUCIGALPA, April 11 (Reuters) - Honduras' central bank on Tuesday forecast the country's inflation will land between 6.0% and 7.0% at the end of this year, down from 9.8% at the end of last year. The Central American country's central bank also predicted inflation of 4.0% to 5.0% by the end of 2024, edging closer to its target of 4.0%, plus or minus one percentage point.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP), meanwhile, should land between 3.5% and 4.0% both for both 2023 and 2024, compared to the 4.0% growth recorded for 2022, the bank predicted in its 2023-2024 monetary plan.

Strong private consumption, remittances and credit growth should sustain economic stability, it said, as well as better targeted public investment directed mainly toward energy and infrastructure projects.
