The U.S. Embassy in El Salvador announced via its official Twitter account that the U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM Bank) is now operating in the country, marking a further step in strengthening the bilateral economic alliance between the two nations.
According to the U.S. diplomatic mission, EXIM Bank’s presence in El Salvador will allow it to offer long-term financing to the public sector, as well as create greater opportunities for U.S. exporters interested in developing or expanding projects in El Salvador. This initiative aims to facilitate bilateral trade, promote strategic investments, and support operations that contribute to economic growth.
EXIM Bank is the official export credit agency of the U.S. government, and its primary function is to support the sale of U.S. goods and services in international markets through financial instruments such as loans, guarantees, and credit insurance. Its operation in El Salvador opens the door to new financing options for projects in areas such as infrastructure, energy, transportation, technology, and other productive sectors.

According to reports, access to long-term financing represents a key advantage for the public sector, enabling the execution of larger-scale projects with more favorable financial terms. At the same time, the measure strengthens the trade relationship between the two countries by facilitating the participation of U.S. companies in economic development initiatives in El Salvador.
The embassy emphasized that this action is part of joint efforts to deepen economic cooperation, promote an investment-friendly environment, and generate productive linkages that benefit both economies. It was also noted that interested parties can learn more about the available financial services and solutions through the official channels of the EXIM Bank.
The arrival of the Export-Import Bank of the United States in the country complements other initiatives aimed at consolidating El Salvador as an attractive destination for foreign investment and strengthening its integration with one of its main trading partners.
