The Social Housing Fund (FSV) continues to strengthen its role as a key financial institution in El Salvador, providing thousands of families with access to affordable housing loans. Its sustained performance led Moody’s Ratings to upgrade its rating to AA+, a recognition of the institution’s financial solidity and capacity to fulfill its obligations.
Housing Minister Michelle Sol highlighted the merits behind the upgrade, stating that “the rating is based on FSV’s track record and experience in the mortgage sector, consolidating its leadership in granting social housing loans in the country, while demonstrating strong financial stability, good institutional management, and reliability.” She added that this recognition reinforces their commitment to support low-income families and expand opportunities for home ownership. “We continue working on continuous improvement to offer better service,” she affirmed.
According to FSV data, during the administration of President Nayib Bukele, a total of 44,457 housing credits have been formalized, representing an investment of $1.04 billion and benefiting 183,246 Salvadorans. Most of the financing has been directed toward used housing and other credit lines, with 23,337 loans amounting to $461.08 million, while new housing projects account for 11,649 loans totaling $425.30 million.
