Provider footnote: The figures for El Salvador include military pensions from the Armed Forces Pensions Fund for 2002-2012, with estimates in previous years. Since 2013, military pensions are based on actual payments. For 2015, actual payment was of $83.3m. for pensions, an increase from 2014. Actual pension payments for 2017 has not been released, so 2017 pension figure is assumed to be the same as 2016 ($90.5m). This will be revised once information on actual payments come out in late 2018.
