The Central Reserve Bank (BCR) predicts that the Salvadoran economy will grow by 2.6% in 2023, driven by an increase in the development of public and private investment projects and by the energizing effect that the improvement in security has had in various activities. .
«In other conferences we had said that El Salvador was going to grow between 2% and 3%. Now, with more recent information, we confirm that El Salvador will grow 2.6%, which is higher than the average of the last 30 years, which was 2.1%,” said the head of the BCR, Douglas Rodríguez.
Rodríguez detailed that in the second quarter, the country registered an increase of 3% in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), thanks to the growth in 17 of the 19 economic activities in the country.
He also indicated that it is expected that for the rest of the year the development of public and private investment projects will continue and, in addition, international events based in our country, such as Miss Universe, which would allow a growth of 2.6% in the economy this year. 2023. pic.twitter.com/tCsm9uCkao
