El Salvador presented a project portfolio exceeding $1 billion in international financing during the Oportunidades event, organized jointly with the World Bank,, with the goal of attracting national and international private investment in strategic development sectors.
The event brought together business leaders, investors, and trade associations, both in person and virtually, who learned firsthand about the initiatives currently being implemented by the government with support from the financial institution. Among the areas attracting the most investment are infrastructure, transportation, health, education, water, energy, and employment.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Adriana Mira emphasized that the projects seek to respond to national priorities and generate a tangible impact on the population. “These initiatives, with significant financing exceeding $1 billion, range from infrastructure development to social inclusion programs and innovative education”, she said.
The government is committed to ensuring that private sector participation not only contributes capital but also technical knowledge and strategic alliances that enhance results. According to authorities, the fair is part of the country’s economic diplomacy strategy, which seeks to position the country as a reliable partner in the region.
The World Bank’s country manager in El Salvador, Carine Clert, emphasized that the event is an “important opportunity to publicize the program we are maintaining with El Salvador, with a view to ensuring that the private sector understands available investment opportunities and becomes part of this transformation and development effort”.
The initiative reflects the confidence of multilateral organizations in the country’s stability and economic direction, which, according to the Executive Branch, opens the door to new investments that will strengthen El Salvador’s economic and social growth.
