The Government of El Salvador has strengthened a series of incentives and support measures aimed at attracting foreign investment and investment from salvadorans living abroad, in a coordinated effort across several state departments to boost economic growth and generate employment.
During an interview, Finance Minister Jerson Posada explained that these measures seek to facilitate the influx of capital, both from international corporations and from salvadorans wishing to set up businesses, bring household goods, and contribute to the country’s economic development. “When I meet with international investors, I tell them that we are living in a new El Salvador, a result of reforms that have strengthened security and public finances, in addition to streamlining administrative processes”, he said.
Among the changes mentioned is the expansion of the La Libertad metropolitan area, which seeks to simplify procedures and accelerate the establishment of investments, as well as new legal provisions that allow the construction of towers of more than 35 floors, something that did not previously exist, with tax incentives that do not compromise public finances.
Posada emphasized that these initiatives not only attract investment but also foster local employment and economic activity. “More investment translates into more jobs, more revenue for the state, and ultimately, more public works and services for the population”, he explained.
The minister also assured that Salvadorans abroad can bring in furniture, tools, and vehicles to establish their businesses, with customs clearance facilities provided by the General Directorate of Customs, ensuring that these processes are streamlined and secure.
The official concluded that this inter-institutional effort, coupled with the stability and economic reforms implemented, reflects the confidence investors place in El Salvador and contributes to consolidating a favorable climate for sustained economic growth.
