El Salvador continues to position itself as a safe and competitive destination for global investment, attracting new industries that generate economic growth and employment opportunities.
María Luisa Hayem, Minister of Economy, emphasized that the country is experiencing a new era of stability and competitiveness, making it ready to receive foreign investment and expand job creation. A recent example is the arrival of Makalot, a global leader in the fashion and textile industry with more than 30 years of experience.
The multinational company has officially established operations in El Salvador, creating more than 400 direct jobs and contributing to the strengthening of the country’s textile and apparel sector, one of its most dynamic export industries.
The Government of El Salvador highlights that this investment reflects confidence in the nation’s economic and security policies under President Nayib Bukele’s leadership. Officials stress that continued improvements in safety and infrastructure are key factors that attract international companies seeking long-term stability and growth.
With Makalot’s arrival, El Salvador reaffirms its role as an emerging hub for the fashion industry in Central America, combining skilled labor, strategic location, and a secure environment to boost foreign direct investment and job creation.
