Further strengthening the economy's growth prospects and reducing poverty will depend on a durable fiscal consolidation effort and improvements in the investment climate through continued commitment to macroeconomic and financial stability. A recent IMF/World Bank Financial System Stability Assessment (FSSA) confirmed that the Salvadoran financial system withstood the global financial crisis well and was well capitalized and liquid. The FSSA recommended enhancements to the legal and regulatory frameworks as well as measures to reduce some remaining vulnerabilities.
