A. M. The Banco Central de Reserva de El Salvador (BCR) reported in its latest update that, in march 2025, the country’s economy showed an interannual growth of 2.71%, according to the Volume Index of Economic Activity (IVAE) in its seasonally adjusted series.
This performance was mainly driven by the dynamism in key sectors such as construction, which registered a remarkable growth of 13.55%. Financial and insurance activities also stood out with an increase of 8.72%, as well as the real estate sector, which grew by 7.66% during the same period.
The rebound in construction reflects both public and private investment in infrastructure, housing, and urban works. The financial sector continues to strengthen with greater access to banking services and credit growth.
However, some sectors showed signs of contraction. Information and communications activities fell by 3.37%, while professional, scientific, and technical activities recorded a decline of 2.93%, suggesting some challenges in specialized services.
