The Secretaría Ejecutiva del Consejo Monetario Centroamericano (SECMCA) held the virtual conference “Macroeconomic outlook for Central America and the Dominican Republic”, a key event for analyzing the region’s economic performance and its short and medium-term prospects.

During the conference, the monetary policy decisions adopted by the region’s central banks and their impact on financial stability were evaluated. In addition, different growth scenarios and inflation expectations for the years 2025 and 2026 were discussed, considering the possible cooling of the U.S. economy, a key factor for Central American markets due to their high dependence on trade and remittances.
The session was led by Odalis F. Marte Alevante, Executive Secretary of the Central American Monetary Council, who presented a detailed overview of the challenges and opportunities facing Central American and Caribbean economies.

The event also highlighted the importance of communication and access to economic information for citizens, fostering spaces for dialogue that allow for a better understanding of these issues.
For El Salvador, these types of initiatives represent an opportunity to anticipate possible adjustments in interest rates, inflation, and growth. Furthermore, detailed analysis of economic trends strengthens the country’s capacity to implement policies that guarantee stability and sustainable development.

With these types of conferences, SECMCA not only provides an updated diagnosis of the macroeconomic situation but also promotes cooperation among countries in the region.
