El Salvador and other Central American countries are set to benefit from a USD1.1 million Inter-American Development Bank loan designed to reduce the rate of anemia in children under the age of five. The loan will support the production of high-nutrient powder for private and public programs in the region.
Meantime, El Salvador and the International Monetary Fund have reached a staff-level agreement for an economic program for 2012. This follows a positive assessment of the country’s economic performance under a review conducted by a visiting IMF mission.
