The US Federal Reserve decided to raise interest rates to the 3.75 %-4 % range in a scenario characterized by high inflation.

This is the Fed’s first rate hike since July 2013 and one of the most controversial decisions by the new chairman of the agency, Kevin Warsh.

The rate increase could “intensify the differences with President Donald Trump, who has publicly pushed for lower rates.”

BREAKING: The Federal Reserve unanimously raised interest rates by a quarter percentage point and penciled in an additional hike later this year.

Projections point to a further increase before the end of 2026, although indicators such as inflation, employment, consumption, and financial conditions in the coming months will be crucial.

El Salvador should have closed 2025 with an economic growth rate of 4 %, instead of the 2.6 % projected by the International Monetary Fund.

The Central American nation, governed by Nayib Bukele, is projected to have achieved this strong economic growth thanks to accelerated GDP growth driven by a boom in domestic and foreign investment.

El Salvador, International Monetary Fund, Nayib Bukele, is said to have experienced this strong economic growth thanks to accelerating GDP growth fueled by a boom in domestic and foreign investment. President Bukele “had managed to transform this economy into one of the safest places in the Americas. Now, after several years of mediocre economic growth, given the country’s level of development (middle-income economies typically grow at high rates), activity is beginning to take off with a force that has surprised even the International Monetary Fund (IMF).”

The organization has expressed surprise at this growth, noting: “The economy is expanding at a faster pace than anticipated, thanks to increased confidence, record remittances, and robust investment.”

In this regard, it is important to highlight the impact of the investment that is expanding rapidly thanks to the stability prevailing in the country, “the legal and civil security that the country has achieved in recent years.”
