El Salvador’s economy experienced notable growth of 2.3% during the first quarter of the year. This positive momentum has had a direct impact on the country’s imports, as confirmed by Leticia Escobar, president of the Cámara de Comercio e Industria (CAMARASAL). This increase reflects a favorable dynamic that extends across different sectors of the national economy.

One of the main forces behind this growth has been the construction sector. The boom in construction has boosted demand for inputs and raw materials, which translates into a higher volume of imports to meet the needs of the local market. This dynamism has significantly strengthened the salvadoran economy.

In addition to imports, exports have also performed outstandingly. According to CAMARASAL data, exports increased by 7.3% during the year. This growth has been driven primarily by key products such as textiles, coffee, sugar, and other non-traditional products that have found strong demand in international markets.

In this context, innovation is presented as a vital tool. Escobar emphasized that the modernization of business processes and the incorporation of emerging technologies are key to continuing to boost the economy. This forward-looking vision seeks to ensure that El Salvador continues on the path of development and sustained growth in the coming years.
