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 country has seen a dramatic crackdown on gang crime and a liberalization of economic policies. 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.
