A. M. The Secretaría del Consejo Monetario Centroamericano (SECMCA) reported that economic activity in the Centroamérica and the República Dominicana (CARD) region experienced a notable rebound. According to data from the Índice Mensual de Actividad Económica (IMAE), an inter-annual variation of 5.10% was recorded, which evidences a favorable outlook for the region’s economic recovery and dynamism.
Among the countries analyzed, Guatemala, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic were positioned as the leaders in growth, reaching rates of 6.05%, 5.75% and 5.37% respectively. These indicators highlight the commitment of these countries to promote reforms and strategies aimed at economic development, which translates into a strengthening of their productive and service sectors.
The outstanding performance of El Salvador, in particular, reinforces its role as a key driver of the Central American economy.
Costa Rica, Honduras and Nicaragua also showed positive results, although with more moderate figures. With year-on-year growth rates of 4.34%, 3.67% and 2.60%, respectively, these countries continue their process of economic consolidation, implementing policies that favor investment and job creation.
Year-over-year growth, while varying among the economies, reflects a general trend of recovery and stability in the region.
In cumulative terms, CARD’s economic activity reached 4.15% growth, a figure that underscores the sustained progress throughout the year. This performance is attributed to the diversification of productive activities, investment in infrastructure, and the implementation of strategies that have enabled the region to overcome global economic challenges.
