George W. Bush Institute-SMU Economic Growth Initiative Launches Central America Prosperity Project
Bringing together experienced Central American leaders with the emerging generation of leaders for a series of focused discussions on the efforts the region has made over the past two decades.
Growth through open markets and regional integration would build stronger economies in Central America and reduce immigration pressures on our borders. Stronger economies in the region would expand markets for U.S. exports and become a powerful example of successful globalization, competitiveness, and improved governance.
In 2018, we convened emerging and experienced leaders from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala to consider progress and hindrances to achieving sustained economic growth in the region. The group agreed that corruption and a large informal economy are the key overarching challenges.
