A. M. The Legislative Assembly has given the green light to a key budget reform for fiscal year 2025. This measure allocates US$3 million from the General Fund to the Public Works and Transportation branch, an important step for the development of infrastructure in the country.
These funds come from a reallocation of resources within the general budget, prioritizing urgent commitments. The approval with a waiver underlines the importance given to these projects.
Specifically, the US$3 million will be used to acquire real estate. This is essential to free up rights of way, allowing for the continuity and progress of various public infrastructure works.
The investment will directly reinforce investment project 3918, which focuses on rights-of-way from previous years. This action ensures that the works are not stopped due to territorial impediments, facilitating their execution.
As stated in the decree, the objective is to ensure compliance with the 2025 institutional objectives. Available and unexecuted resources from the Ministry of Finance are used, optimizing the management of public funds. The decree will enter into force after its publication in the Official Gazette.
This US$3 million investment in Public Works directly benefits salvadorans by accelerating and guaranteeing the completion of infrastructure projects that are crucial for the country’s development. This means that citizens will be able to enjoy an improved road network more quickly, which translates into greater transportation safety, reduced travel times, and a boost to the economy by facilitating trade and the mobility of people and goods.
