El Salvador Balança Comercial

El Salvador reported a trade deficit of USD 764.59 million in February 2025, broadly in line with the USD 771 million gap recorded in the same month the previous year. Exports rose by 8.82% year-over-year to USD 551.35 million, driven by a 321.26% surge in consumer goods, particularly sugar (1,288.8%), and a 4.18% increase in non-traditional goods, while a 53.09% decline in manufactured goods exports (-20.49%) partially offset these gains. Meanwhile, imports increased by 3.02% to USD 1,315.94 million.
