El Salvador is moving forward with a major infrastructure investment as the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) advances the Road Infrastructure and Urban Mobility Program – Phase I through a co-financing partnership with the OPEC Fund. The initiative is expected to mobilize $135 million to strengthen the country’s transportation network and urban development.

As part of the project’s progress, CABEI Country Director Alejandro Zelaya participated in the technical evaluation mission, an important step in finalizing the financing structure and assessing the program’s implementation. The collaboration reflects the commitment of both financial institutions to supporting strategic development initiatives in El Salvador.

The planned investment will focus on improving road infrastructure and enhancing urban mobility, contributing to safer transportation, greater connectivity, and more efficient movement of people and goods. These improvements are expected to support economic growth while increasing the quality and resilience of the country’s infrastructure.

The partnership between CABEI and the OPEC Fund underscores continued international confidence in El Salvador’s development agenda, reinforcing efforts to modernize public infrastructure and promote sustainable economic progress through long-term investment.
