A. M. El Salvador’s Ministry of Economy estimates that the country’s economy will grow between 2.5% and 3% in 2025, exceeding the average registered in the three decades prior to President Nayib Bukele’s first administration, according to Minister María Luisa Hayem in a recent interview.

The official highlighted that the sustained growth is due to the execution of strategic projects with international organizations, as well as the modernization of key infrastructure, including the intervention of the ports of Acajutla and La Unión. These actions seek to strengthen trade and attract new investments.
A feasibility study will be developed to facilitate the installation of companies in the eastern part of the country. Hayem emphasized that among the advantages of this region are its access to strategic coasts, its proximity to Honduras and the construction of the Pacific Airport, whose first stone was laid in february of this year.
Growth forecasts for El Salvador coincide with the estimates of international organizations. In january, the World Bank (WB) maintained its projection at 2.7%, while the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts a growth close to 3%.
With these advances, the salvadoran government reaffirms its commitment to continue promoting economic development through infrastructure, foreign investment and improvements in competitiveness, key factors to ensure sustained growth in the coming years.
