The smallest country in Central America, El Salvador has faced significant economic challenges as it battles poverty, high levels of debt and a fragile fiscal position. The country's small economy is focused on the energy, manufacturing, and agriculture sectors. In recent years, the government has pursued aggressive security measures to curb gang violence and introduced market-oriented reforms. Significant constitutional changes have also reshaped the political landscape. The government has made a great effort to improve the business environment and attract foreign direct investment (FDI) by streamlining regulations and customs, eliminating red tape and digitizing government services.
