The left-wing government of the ruling Frente Farabundo Marti para la Liberation National (FMLN), led by Salvador Sanchez Ceren, will guarantee some degree of policy continuity despite the president's hardline credentials.
The move towards a multiparty system will raise an element of risk to political effectiveness throughout the forecast period, and the FMLN is unlikely to gain a majority in legislative elections to be held in March.
