The Asociación Bancaria Salvadoreña (ABANSA) reported that the gross loan balance of its member banks reached US$17.98 billion, reflecting year-over-year growth of 10.3%.
According to data presented by the association, this increase represents an additional US$1.678 billion compared to the same period last year.
ABANSA noted that the growth in the loan portfolio reflects greater availability of credit within the Salvadoran banking system.
According to the association, this trend allows for expanded financing opportunities for various sectors and the needs of the population.

The main uses of credit include home purchases, business investments, the promotion of productive projects, and meeting household needs.
The association noted that access to financing remains an important tool for supporting economic activities and facilitating the development of personnel and business projects.
The growth reported by ABANSA is in line with the performance of the salvadoran banking system in 2026.
