Dear Members
We are delighted to invite members for an opportunity to meet with the visiting Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs (El Salvador) Mrs. Adriana Mira.
El Salvador’s real GDP grew by an estimated 3.9% in 2025 and is projected to grow around 3.2% to 3.4% in 2026, driven by infrastructure investment, tourism, and security improvements. There has been a major surge in private investment and a 20%+ increase in construction. Significant drops in crime under the Bukele Administration have boosted local confidence, tourism, and commercial development.
Vice Minister Mira will focus her remarks on the opportunities available to UK investors to engage with the Salvadoran market and explore new opportunities in El Salvador.
This business roundtable will be held in Central London (location to follow) on the afternoon of Monday 19 October from 3:00-5:00pm. The roundtable will include a presentation from Vice Minister Mira, followed by Q&A and networking. There will be an opportunity for companies to speak individually with Vice Minister Mira about their specific project interests.
Please contact the team for registration.
