A. M. El Salvador is experiencing a notable economic boom, driven by private investment exceeding US$3.305 billion in the last year. This figure, highlighted by Luis Rodríguez of COAMSS-OPAMSS, reflects the private sector’s growing confidence in government policies and their impact on national development.
The tourism sector is leading this construction boom, with the construction of hotels and various infrastructure projects that strengthen the country’s supply. Added to this are important housing and public space projects, which generate unprecedented economic and social dynamism.
This growth translates directly into job creation. The construction and real estate sectors are projected to exceed 180,000 jobs this year, consolidating their role as an engine of development and well-being for the salvadoran population.
Recent data confirm the strength of this momentum, with growth exceeding 17% in the last half of the year for the construction sector. These results demonstrate the synergy between the government and private sector, which is key to the current economic outlook.
The economic transformation positions El Salvador as an attractive “country brand” for international investors. Construction already represents 13.55% of the Gross Domestic Product in the first half of the year, demonstrating the success of this collaborative strategy.
