El Salvador Macroeconomic Indicators

Data and methodology Real GDP growth and consumer-price inflation are annual percentage changes. Inflation is measured using annual average consumer prices. Public debt refers to the IMF's nonfinancial public-sector gross debt series, including CIP-A pension bonds. It is not equivalent to central-government debt alone. The overall fiscal balance refers to the IMF's nonfinancial public sector series. The current account balance covers transactions with the rest of the world in goods, services, income and transfers. Gross international reserves are expressed in US dollars. Nominal GDP is reported in current US dollars, consistent with the IMF's October 2026 review. GDP per capita is expressed in current US dollars. The 2023–2025 figures are World Bank historical observations. The 2026 value is an approximate projection based on projected nominal GDP and population, not a published World Bank observation. Unemployment uses the World Bank modeled ILO estimate series. The 2023 and 2024 figures should be refreshed against the latest download before publication; the 2025 value is the latest displayed World Bank observation. Net FDI is presented using the IMF's net foreign direct investment series as a percentage of GDP. Its negative values reflect the IMF balance-of-payments presentation and should not be confused with the World Bank's net inflows indicator. 2025 values are estimates or reported observations according to the relevant source. 2026 values are IMF projections where available and may change with subsequent releases.
