According to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), in an economic recovery scenario, Central America’s exports continue to grow, according to data for the years 2022 to 2024. El Salvador has shown a positive trend, projecting an export value of US$5.478 billion in 2024, which represents a key opportunity for the country within the region.
This increase highlights the resilience of the salvadoran economy, which continues to diversify its product offerings in international markets.
Compared to other Central American countries, El Salvador is solidly positioned in this growth process. Countries such as Guatemala and Honduras also show significant progress, with US$13.962 billion and US$10.495 billion in exports projected for 2024, respectively. This strengthening of exports throughout the region ensures a positive impact not only for each individual country, but also for the Central American economy as a whole.
Increased exports in Central America benefit both productive sectors and trade relations with other countries, especially in strategic markets such as the United States and the European Union. With higher export revenues, the countries of the region can invest in improving their infrastructure, which will allow them to continue growing in the long term and generate more jobs.
In addition, Central American countries have demonstrated the ability to adapt quickly to changes in international demand. This has been key in the recovery from recent global challenges, consolidating their position as relevant trade players in Latin America. With this sustained growth, the region is expected to maintain its economic momentum in the coming years. The projection for 2024 suggests an optimistic future for Central American exports, with a focus on developing more efficient and sustainable value chains. This will allow the countries of the region, including El Salvador, to maximize the benefits of their trade relations and strengthen their position in the global market.
