Unleashing Central America's Potential

El Salvador At-A-Glance

Economic growth in El Salvador reached 2.4 percent in 2016. This growth was mainly driven by external factors, including a significant decline in oil imports, which fell by US$262 million, and remittances, which increased by US$306 million from 2015 to reach US$4,576 million (or 17.1 percent of GDP).
