The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that El Salvador’s economy will grow by 2.47% in 2025, according to its latest World Economic Outlook released in April 2025. This forecast represents a slight downward revision from the 3% growth projected in October 2024.

Despite being the lowest projected growth rate in Central America for 2025, this estimate reflects El Salvador’s resilience in the face of global economic headwinds, including trade tensions and fiscal adjustments. The IMF’s support through a $1.4 billion agreement aims to strengthen the country’s fiscal framework and enhance economic stability.

The IMF’s projections underscore the importance of continued structural reforms and prudent fiscal management to bolster El Salvador’s economic prospects amid an uncertain global environment.
