The Legislative Assembly’s Finance Committee issued a favorable opinion on amending the 2026 Budget Law to allocate US$90,935 to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These funds will be used to strengthen efforts aimed at attracting foreign investment and promoting El Salvador’s economy in international markets.
The funds will be part of the Program for the Transformation of El Salvador’s Business Climate, an initiative that seeks to promote strategic activities to position the country as an attractive destination for investment and generate greater opportunities for economic development.
According to information presented during the working session, the funding comes from resources obtained through an external loan signed with the Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF). The budget allocation will help strengthen the implementation of activities related to economic promotion and the institutional strengthening of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Marlon Herrera, director general of Investment and Public Credit at the Ministry of Finance, explained that some of the initiatives will be carried out through El Salvador’s diplomatic and consular missions in markets considered strategic for attracting capital, including the United States and Germany.
According to officials, the program includes economic promotion initiatives abroad to publicize the investment opportunities the country offers, as well as measures aimed at strengthening the operational capacities of the offices responsible for driving these efforts.
The funds will also be used to purchase technological equipment and software licenses to improve the tools used in investment promotion. Herrera noted that these acquisitions aim to strengthen programs focused on attracting new investment projects and expanding El Salvador’s economic presence in international markets.
With this allocation, the government seeks to reinforce economic promotion strategies abroad, with the goal of attracting more foreign investment, generating new business opportunities, and contributing to the country’s economic growth through closer ties with potential international investors.
