El Salvador is making progress in modernizing its financial system with the upcoming Alternative Private Investment Funds Law (PAIF), which seeks to attract large capital to innovative, high-impact projects. This new regulatory framework, backed by the Constitution, will allow for the creation and operation of private funds for sophisticated investors with the experience and capacity to take on complex risks.

The regulations will offer greater legal certainty and flexibility for investments in sectors such as digital technology, renewable energy, and real estate development, positioning the country as an attractive destination for modern and strategic capital. Furthermore, the Superintendencia del Sistema Financiero will strengthen supervision with macroeconomic risk analysis to ensure stability.

Since 2021, confidence in El Salvador has been reflected in historic growth in company formation, driven by a favorable security climate, demonstrating the potential to consolidate the country as an alternative financial center in the region. The law establishes clear requirements for management companies with minimum capital and strict controls, ensuring transparency and trust to foster sustainable economic development and investment diversification in El Salvador.
