Has El Salvador finally entered a phase of high economic growth?

Abstract

Certainly, the recent economic dynamics contrasts with the deceleration that the Salvadoran economy had been showing since the mid-nineties and, particularly, with the average annual growth rate of 2% registered during 2000-2005.
The obligatory question that arises in the face of this phenomenon is whether it is simply a passing phase of the business cycle or whether it effectively reflects the country's positioning in a sustained trajectory of high growth in the long term.
