El Salvador continues to show signs of economic dynamism, according to the latest data from the Banco Central de Reserva Economic Activity Volume Index (IVAE). The figures reveal positive performance in key productive sectors, which is reflected in a progressive increase in the indicator during the last months analyzed.
The President of the Republic, Nayib Bukele, stated in a recent tweet that these results are directly linked to the climate of security that the country is experiencing.
El Salvador’s Economic Activity Volume Index (IVAE) shows sustained growth in its seasonally adjusted series, reaching 130.9 points in september 2025, the highest value recorded in the period analyzed.
Since the beginning of 2023: 120.4 points in january, the IVAE has climbed steadily, with a notable upturn in 2025: from 126.6 in december 2024 to 130.9 in september 2025. This progress reflects continued economic expansion, driven by data updated through the ninth month of the year.
Annual Comparison
In september 2024, the index stood at 121.5 points; a year later, it rose to 130.9, implying approximate growth of 7.5%.
The average for 2023 was around 122 points, while in 2024 it rose to around 124.5, and in 2025 (through september) it averages around 128.5 points.
These data, with figures revised and harmonized to the second quarter of 2025, confirm a robust recovery in salvadoran economic activity.
The IVAE, used as a leading indicator of economic performance, shows that productive activity is registering monthly variations that maintain a recovery trend, driven mainly by manufacturing, trade, and services.
