El Salvador: Perfil comercial

Foreign Trade in Figures

El Salvador is open to international trade, which represented 69% of GDP in 2020. Trade has been supported by the privatisation of most sectors, as well as by the promotion of the country's textile production, tourism and international port services. However, El Salvador relies on the U.S. for foreign trade, making their situation somewhat volatile. The country's main exports include various clothing articles (21.9%), articles for the conveyance or packaging of goods (4.3%), cane or beet sugar (4.3%), toilet paper (3.4%), and medicaments (3.2%). Main imports include petroleum oils (7.2%), medicaments (3.6%), electrical apparatus for line telephony (2.7%),Electric generating sets and rotary converters (2.5%), and petroleum gas (2.1%). According to IMF Foreign Trade Forecasts, the volume of exports of goods and services increased by an estimated 20.8% in 2021 and is expected to increase by 9.3% in 2022, while the volume of imports of goods and services decreased by an estimated 17.9% in 2021 and is expected to increase by 7.9% in 2022.

The country's main trade partners are the United States, Guatemala, Honduras, China, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. El Salvador has very few trade barriers affecting the export of products manufactured in the country, but there are some barriers in services. The Government actively promotes exports from the country's small and medium-sized enterprises. Finally, a master plan between El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua for the Fonseca Gulf was presented in 2019; it includes ferries between key cities as well as implementation of a logistics park, a free trade zone and a sustainable tourism hub. El Salvador is a CACM member, and has trade agreements with the EU, Mexico, Colombia, Taiwan, Panama, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

The country has a structurally negative trade balance, which reached USD 5.2 billion in 2020 - a trend that is expected to continue during the next decade. In 2020, El Salvador exported USD 5 billion worth of goods, while imports reached USD 10.3 billion. Concerning the trade of services, imports amounted to USD 1.4 billion in 2020, while exports totalled USD 2 billion.
