El Salvador has reported historic progress in its construction sector, marking one of the strongest performances in recent years. During the COREN 2025 conference, Luis Rodríguez, Executive Director of COAMSS/OPAMSS, highlighted record achievements that reinforce the country’s economic momentum.
According to Rodríguez, the construction industry registered 23% growth, generating 167,000 jobs and significantly boosting the national economy. The sector also drove a 40% increase in raw material revenue through Salvadoran ports, while banks issued more than $1 billion in loans to support ongoing projects.
As part of the government’s broader economic strategy, Rodríguez announced a new and ambitious framework to strengthen the industrial sector, aligned with the National Industrial Plan. The initiative aims to consolidate El Salvador’s position as a regional leader in sustainable development, infrastructure investment, and industrial growth.
With construction and industry playing a central role in the nation’s economic expansion, El Salvador continues to attract international attention as a destination for investment and long-term development.
