El Salvador is among the most cost-competitive countries to settle and conduct business in the region. The investment magazine fDi Intelligence, belonging to the London newspaper Financial Times, in its publication Cities of the Future 2021/2022, considered San Salvador, capital of El Salvador, as the best medium-sized city in Latin America in terms of costs to attract foreign investment. As regards profitability, San Salvador is the most competitive, and stands out among important cities in Mexico, Brazil and Costa Rica.
The sixth edition of Cities of the Future of the Americas analyzes a series of policies about prospective American locations, aimed at resuming growth and development in urban areas after the Covid-19 pandemic.
For the purposes of this ranking, data was compiled using specialized online tools fDi Benchmark and fDi Markets to then compare cities according to five main categories: economic potential, business friendliness, human resources, profitability and connectivity.
