The import of construction machinery and equipment in El Salvador has now exceeded US$894 million, reflecting the growth experienced by the construction sector and the increase in investments aimed at strengthening the country’s infrastructure, logistics, and productivity, reported Luis Rodríguez, executive director of COAMSS/OPAMSS.
In this context, authorities announced a new US$18 million investment by CCV Logistics, part of the Grupo ECON, intended to strengthen the construction sector’s logistics and production chain through the addition of a new fleet of over 100 vehicles.
According to Rodríguez, these types of investments reflect the country’s economic dynamism and the private sector’s confidence in El Salvador’s growth.
The official highlighted the current greater collaboration between the public and private sectors, which has created favorable conditions for attracting investment and strengthening strategic areas linked to economic and productive development.
“We believe that El Salvador is advancing at a breakneck pace, that there is greater collaboration between the public and private sectors, and that we have become an international benchmark for investment, productivity, and economic growth”, he said.
Rodríguez pointed out that factors such as security, confidence, and legal stability have contributed to transforming the country’s economic environment, allowing it to overcome obstacles that for years limited growth and investment opportunities.
“All of this is thanks to the harmonious relationship between security, confidence, and clear rules, which allowed us to overcome the problems that limited our development and stifled opportunities”, he said.
The announced investment aims to strengthen logistics operations related to the construction sector, an area that has experienced sustained growth in recent years driven by housing, commercial, industrial, and public infrastructure projects.
The new fleet of over 100 units will optimize the transport and distribution of machinery, materials, and equipment, improving operational capacity and efficiency in various production areas related to construction.
The announcement also received support from representatives of the business and trade sectors, including the Cámara Salvadoreña de la Industria de la Construcción, who highlighted the sector’s continued growth and the positive impact of private investment on the national economy.
Authorities believe that the increase in imports of construction machinery and equipment reflects the expansion of projects and the modernization of technical capabilities in different productive sectors of the country.
They also noted that this economic activity contributes to job creation, strengthens commercial activity, and fosters new development opportunities for El Salvador.
