According to Invest El Salvador, 134 salvadoran products have been introduced to new international markets, which represents a brand positioning for the country; opening the doors to make known all it has to offer.

This has also led El Salvador to expand to 52 new destinations among them are: The Netherlands, Singapore, China, Switzerland, Thailand, Belgium, Hong Kong, and India.

Likewise, 17 machinery and equipment products entered 13 new countries.

It is worth noting that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (CANCILLERIA) has been constantly managing good relations in these new regions with which, not only products are being exported, but also negotiations are being carried out so that companies can expand in El Salvador.

Another important point is that in the last report of the Banco Central de Reserva (BCR), El Salvador in 2023, received US$759.7 million in foreign investment (IED) which means that it quadrupled, compared to those received in 2022 that reached US$170.9 million and the highest recorded during the first five years of Bukele's administration.

In addition, the president of the state bank, Douglas Rodríguez, explained that net IED FDI flows in the last decade have increased by 60%.
