A. M. The perception of the family economic situation in El Salvador shows a trend toward improvement and stability in recent years. According to CID Gallup surveys, 83% of salvadorans report that their economic situation is the same or better compared to four months ago, in recent data for 2025.
This figure represents a significant increase since 2020, when 42% perceived a worsening situation and only 16% noted an improvement. The resilience of salvadoran households has been reflected in a gradual recovery and adaptation to economic dynamics.
When analyzing the situation compared to the previous year, the data also reflect growing optimism. For 2025, 34% of the population believes their family economy has improved and 48% perceive it to be the same, with the remaining 82% reporting an improvement in their economic perception.
This stability aligns with the general perception of the country’s direction. A resounding 73% of salvadorans believe El Salvador is on the right path in 2025, a figure significantly higher than the 14% in 2015 or the 38% in 2019, evidencing a positive shift in national confidence.
These economic indicators suggest a more favorable environment for families, which could be influenced by government policies and a general sense of stability. Likewise, President Nayib Bukele’s approval rating, which remains at 85%, could be a contributing factor to this positive perception.
According to CID Gallup data, most salvadorans feel that their family economic situation remains stable or is improving, and that the country is moving in the right direction, reinforcing confidence in the economic future.
