Summary

El Salvador’s economic expansion continues, amid a reduction in macroeconomic imbalances. However, downside risks have risen as a result of elevated global trade tensions and stricter immigration policies in other countries, although these are partly mitigated by more favorable terms of trade and potential trade diversion effects. Review discussions focused on assessing recent progress and reaching understandings on policies to safeguard macroeconomic stability and further strengthen governance and transparency, while recognizing the more challenging external backdrop.
