Exchange Rate Arrangement. The U.S. dollar is legal tender and circulates freely. The dollar is used as a unit of account and a medium of exchange, with no limitations. All payments may be made in either dollars or Colones. The BCR has the obligation to exchange Colones for dollars upon request from banks, at a fixed and unalterable exchange rate of C8.75 per U.S. dollar. As a result, El Salvador de jure and de facto Arrangements are no separate legal tender. El Salvador has accepted the obligations of Article VIII, Sections 2(a), 3, and 4, and maintains an exchange system that is free of restrictions on the making of payments and transfers for current international transactions and multiple currency practices.
As of September 7, 2021, El Salvador uses Bitcoin as an official currency with legal tender status alongside U.S. dollar.
Article IV Consultation. The last Article IV consultation was concluded on May 25, 2019 (Country Report No. 19/143).
FSAP participation and ROSCs. An FSAP Update was conducted in 2010 and the report was considered by the Executive Board on September 15, 2010. A fiscal ROSC was conducted in 2011. A data module ROSC was conducted in 2004.

Statistical Issues
(As of November 30, 2021)
| I. Assessment of Data Adequacy for Surveillance | |
| General: Data provision has some shortcomings but is broadly adequate for surveillance. | |
| National Accounts: The Central Reserve Bank of El Salvador disseminates annual and quarterly national accounts, following the System of National Accounts 1993 (1993 SNA), and including key recommendations from the 2008 SNA. The series, available for 2005–18, with benchmark year 2005, are disseminated by the production and expenditure approaches, and Supply and Use Tables are disseminated for 2014–16 and Input-Output Tables for 2005 and 2014. In addition, a monthly index of economic activity (IVAE), which is consistent with the quarterly and annual national accounts, is disseminated on a regular basis. The rebased national accounts and monthly index of economic activity series were published on March 23, 2018. | |
| Price Statistics: Price statistics are disseminated at monthly frequency. Consumer Price Index weights are based on the 2005–06 Household Income and Expenditure Survey. A broad PPI, with base year 2009, is compiled and disseminated on the website of the Central Reserve Bank. | |
| Government Finance Statistics: Public sector data is reported on a cash basis but is comprehensive and timely. Information on flow and stocks is published monthly for the different components of the nonfinancial public sector (NFPS). Public debt statistics is presented as NFPS but have large gaps, particularly not all government securities held by private pension funds are reported. Information from securities issued by subsidiaries of the Comisión Ejecutiva Hidroeléctrica del Río Lempa—CEL holding is also missed. Information is produced by the Treasury and disseminated by the Central Bank. The country participates in a regional capacity development program for the harmonization of GFS for Central America, Panama, and the Dominican Republic led by the IMF’s Regional Center for Technical Assistance (CAPTAC-DR). As part of this projects the authorities plan to migrate their fiscal statistics towards GFSM-2104 but exact timelines are not available. Data on the use of Bitcoin is needed. |
|
| Monetary and Financial Statistics: The Central Reserve Bank of El Salvador (CRBS) compiles and disseminates monetary and financial statistics (MFS), with concepts, definitions, and classification that are broadly in line with the Monetary and Financial Statistics Manual (MFSM) 2000. The CRBS uses standardized report forms based on accounting data to report data to the Fund. The CRBS regularly reports monthly financial soundness indicators (FSIs) to the IMF for publication. Currently, the BCB reports all core and 5 encouraged FSIs. Plans are under way to compile the rest of the encouraged FSIs.Data on the use of Bitcoin is needed. |
|
| Financial Sector Statistics: Data coverage is broadly adequate. However, comprehensive data on household and corporate balance sheets, as well as on housing prices, which are currently not available, would be useful for more effective surveillance. Data on the us of Bitcoin is needed. | |
| External Sector Statistics: The Central Bank of El Salvador compiles and reports all key ESS datasets, except for the Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CPIS). Authorities expressed interest in disseminating CPIS in 2019. The Coordinated Direct Investment Survey (CDIS) is incomplete, with inward direct investment reported and limited coverage for outward direct investment. Further work on improving coverage of nonfinancial private sector transactions is needed as well as comprehensive granularity in the reporting of external debt statistics. Data on remittances in Bitcoin has started to be published. | |
| II. Data Standards and Quality | |
| El Salvador is a subscriber to the Fund’s Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) since 1998. El Salvador is taking a flexibility option for the periodicity of the labor market and wages/earnings data category and will continue at this time to publish annual data with a timeliness of one quarter after the end of the reference year. | A data ROSC was published in December 2004. |
