El Salvador’s export activity maintained significant momentum during april 2016. According to data from the Banco Central de Reserva (BCR), Centro de Trámites de Importaciones y Exportaciones (CIEX El Salvador) authorized more than 14,100 online exports, reflecting the constant activity of companies that market salvadoran products in international markets.
Exports represent one of the main sources of foreign exchange for the country and contribute to the growth of productive sectors that place their goods abroad. The volume of transactions registered during the month demonstrates the continued activity of the export sector and the increasing use of digital tools to streamline processes related to foreign trade.
Furthermore, CIEX El Salvador also authorized more than 17,000 online imports during april. These transactions allow the entry into the country of raw materials, supplies, machinery, equipment, and consumer goods used by both salvadoran businesses and consumers.
The figures show a significant flow of trade in both directions, supporting national economic activity. While exports allow salvadoran products to reach new markets, imports facilitate the supply of inputs necessary for production and the development of various economic activities.
The BCR highlighted that one of the main benefits of the CIEX El Salvador platform is the speed of processing procedures. According to the institution, authorizations can be obtained in just 37 seconds, reducing waiting times and simplifying processes for importers and exporters.
The entity noted that the digitization of these services is part of the efforts to modernize salvadoran foreign trade, improve the efficiency of operations, and strengthen the competitiveness of companies participating in national and international markets.
