This economic support was possible thanks to the transformation of BANDESAL, which, backed by the Central Government, has become a dynamic and innovative development bank, which not only allows to reactivate the national economy, but also to support art, culture, sports, education and health, making it possible for private sports organizations to benefit from this banking institution.

"The Government of President Nayib Bukele is committed to support and recognize sport as a fundamental branch in the development of the salvadoran youth. From BANDESAL, we will continue to support the different federations, through INDES, who put the name of El Salvador on high, said Durán who explained that, to provide financial support, a previous study required by INDES must be done on the needs to be covered by the applicant federation.

The ad honorem president of INDES Yamil Bukele, thanked the support provided by BANDESAL, a financial entity that has already benefited several national sports federations.

"In BANDESAL we have not only an ally, but a partner, a friend of sport. Thanks to its president, Juan Pablo Durán, for believing in and betting on the sport of our country", Bukele said.

In january 2022, thanks to the cooperation agreement signed between INDES and BANDESAL, the bank provided 145 thousand dollars for the purchase of three pick-up trucks that were provided to the badminton, skating and gymnastics federations, as well as for the purchase of two minibuses that were delivered to basketball and karate do.
