El Salvador President Nayib Bukele took the initiative to cover electricity and water bills for a significant portion of the population. It was announced that the El Salvador government would pay these bills for 95% of households, with a cap of $80 for electricity and $30 for water bills.
This measure aimed to provide economic relief to families, particularly after the holiday season when financial pressures might be higher.
