A radical transformation for El Salvador. I still remember when this country was considered one of the most dangerous in the world, but in recent years the situation has changed drastically.

In 2024, El Salvador ranked as the eighth safest country on the planet. It almost seems unbelievable when you think about how it was just a few years ago. President Bukele's government implemented very aggressive security policies that produced tangible results: in 2023, only 154 murders were recorded. To give an idea of the transformation, according to the CID Gallup poll, 88% of Salvadorans now feel safe walking alone at night.

This is not just a number on a ranking. El Salvador has become the regional leader in Latin America when it comes to safety, and this represents a model that other countries are beginning to look at with interest. The perception of El Salvador as a dangerous country is completely changing.

It is an interesting example of how aggressive public policies can transform a country's reality in relatively short periods. Could this also be a signal for other struggling emerging markets? Meanwhile, the markets continue their course, with BTC around 77.77K and ETH at 2.14K.
