IMF praises El Salvador's strong 2026 growth, approves $140M despite Bitcoin rule breach

The IMF projects El Salvador's economy to grow 4.5% in 2026 after a strong 3.9% expansion in 2025, driven by investment, consumption, remittances, tourism, and improved security. The IMF approved a $138-140 million disbursement under a $1.4 billion program supporting fiscal reforms, despite the country breaching a Bitcoin accumulation condition, granting a waiver instead of halting funds. This positive outlook reflects strengthened fiscal policies and reduced crime, boosting investor confidence and economic stability.
