The growth rate of the gross domestic product (GDP) of El Salvador in 1998 was 3.2%, which was slightly less than in 1997 (4.2%) and much lower than the annual average of 6.8% achieved during the four-year economic recovery (1992-1995) that followed the signing of the Chapultepec Peace Agreement. One of the factors that played a role in this regard was the negative growth of the agricultural sector (-0.9%), which in turn was due partly to lower international prices for certain commodities, such as coffee, and partly to the direct and indirect effects of El Nino and Hurricane Mitch.
