On October 13, President Nayib Bukele signed a 2.9 billion dollar investment agreement with Spaniard Enrique Riquelme, the largest in El Salvador’s history, representing approximately 7% of GDP. The deal focuses on natural gas infrastructure, drinking water, battery storage and solar panels, with no bitcoin component.
