More DescriptionEl Salvador is the smallest and more densely populated nation in the Americas. Traditionally an agricultural country -- heavily dependent upon coffee, cotton and sugar -- by the end of the 20th century the services sector has come to dominate the Salvadoran economy. Moreover, El Salvador also depends heavily on its trade with the United States and on the remittances sent by Salvadorans living abroad.

Late in 2019. the new president went on tour to seek the financial assistance of the two super-powers: China and the United States, but the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has put all new development projects on hold.
