The official highlighted that there is a reduction in inflation in the country, which has gone from 6.7% to 6.55% from March to April.

The Government of the Republic launched the 11 measures against inflation with the aim of taking care of the pockets of Salvadorans. Later, the Salvadoran president set fuel prices, which makes El Salvador the country with the lowest prices in the region.

“We have worked with the Legislative Assembly to be able to approve this decree, which allows us to freeze fuel prices; that a 30% increase in prices is not being perceived by the population” — said the Minister of Economy.
