About Próspera ZEDE
Próspera ZEDE was a unique autonomous zone in Honduras, established under a controversial legal framework in 2017 to attract investment and foster innovation. It aimed to create a new model of governance with its own legal system based on common law principles. The Honduran Congress repealed the ZEDE law in 2022, leading to significant legal and political uncertainty regarding its future status, despite ongoing claims from the zone's proponents.
