A. M. Citi has released its latest economic projections for Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting a stable outlook for the region in 2025. According to its analysis, the US Federal Reserve is expected to reduce its interest rates in May of this year, which could generate a more favorable financial environment for emerging markets.
As for commodities, Citi expects stable prices for key commodities such as iron ore, gold and oil. However, the report points out that the price of oil could experience a drop, which would affect the region’s producing countries in small proportions.
Regarding the Latin American economy, the group estimates that the region will show greater stability in 2025. However, it warns that the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump could generate certain impacts on economic growth. Even so, the report highlights that relations between Trump and salvadoran President Nayib Bukele could bring benefits in fiscal, economic and migratory terms for El Salvador.
In terms of economic growth, Citi projects that El Salvador will reach 2.4% growth in 2025 and 2.2% in 2026. These figures reflect a moderate but steady pace of economic expansion in the country.
Regarding inflation, the report indicates that El Salvador will close 2025 with an inflation rate of 2.0%, while in 2026 it is expected to drop to 1.5%. This decrease in inflation levels suggests an efficient price control in the country.
Citi’s projections reflect an encouraging outlook for the Salvadoran economy in the coming years, with stable growth and controlled inflation, factors that could contribute to improving the country’s economic and social conditions.
