President Nayib Bukele has highlighted that several sovereign bonds of El Salvador have begun to trade above their nominal value. This increase occurred after the announcement of the 2025 General Budget, which will be fully funded, so there will be no need to issue a single cent of debt for the cancellation of current payments.
According to market data, salvadoran bonds rose from 99.533 to 100.050 points, which represents a notable rebound. This increase reflects investors’ confidence in the country’s economic stability, Bukele assured. “Any Salvadoran bond is a great investment,” the president said earlier, underlining the markets’ interest in the national economy.
This situation is because the budget for 2025 will be US$9,663 million, a decrease of US$970 million with respect to the 2024 closing budget. It should be noted that this will be financed entirely with domestic revenues, without the need to seek international loans.
This financial approach reinforces the government’s strategy of reducing dependence on foreign debt, promoting greater long-term economic sustainability and opening doors to greater foreign investment, thus generating a positive impulse in the national economy, in addition to improving the country’s perception in international markets.
