The Banco Central de Reserva de El Salvador (BCR) emphasized that the electronic authorizations carried out through CIEX are part of the modernization and digitization strategies for services related to foreign trade, with the goal of facilitating operations for salvadoran importers and exporters.
The institution has also stated on several occasions that streamlining procedures contributes to improving the country’s competitiveness, strengthening trade, and boosting national economic activity.
