Salvadoran international trade maintains a steady and sustained pace. Proof of this is that in november 2025, the Centro de Importaciones y Exportaciones de El Salvador (CIEX) authorized more than 14,344 exports, a figure that reflects the dynamism of the national productive sector and the country’s growing participation in international markets.
This data, supported by the Banco Central de Reserva (BCR) confirms that salvadoran companies continue to invest in exporting goods, even in a global context marked by logistical and economic challenges. The volume of authorized exports demonstrates active, fluid, and expanding commercial activity, where administrative processes no longer represent an obstacle to the export of products.
Additionally, during the same period, CIEX also authorized more than 17,299 imports, demonstrating a balance in trade. However, the greatest emphasis is on the growth and efficiency of the export flow, which is key to generating foreign exchange, employment, and strengthening the national economy.
CIEX El Salvador is a platform managed by the Banco Central de Reserva designed to centralize, simplify, and expedite import and export procedures. Its main function is to issue authorizations digitally, reducing time, costs, and bureaucracy for users of the trade system.
One of CIEX’s most significant advancements is its operational speed. Currently, the system allows authorizations to be obtained in an average of 37 seconds, representing a significant leap forward compared to traditional processes and positioning El Salvador as a country with modern tools to facilitate foreign trade.
Although CIEX fulfills multiple functions, such as document validation, inter-institutional coordination, and control of commercial operations, its most visible impact is reflected in the high number of exports processed, which confirms the productive sector’s confidence in this digital tool.
The more than 14,000 exports authorized through november 2025 are not just a statistic, but an indicator that salvadoran international trade is not slowing down, is advancing efficiently, and is supported by the digital transformation driven by the State through the Banco Central Reserva.
This performance reinforces the role of CIEX El Salvador as a key mechanism for national products to reach new markets, strengthening the country’s competitiveness and consolidating its integration into global trade.
