El Salvador: heart of the Americas

Free and export-oriented economy open for growth

Why El Salvador?

A free, export-oriented market economy, El Salvador’s opportunities are seemingly limitless. It has proven macroeconomic stability, using the US dollar as legal tender, and is open to global trade and investment.

It is among the most free economies in Latin America. Sitting in the heart of the Americas, right between north and south America, El Salvador has been evolving for the last 20 years and now presents businesses with the chance to grow alongside the country.
